If the Height Behavior is set to Absolute, the drone will ascend
to the specified Return Height (above the launch point) before
returning. When set to Relative, Skydio X2 will ascend by the
specified Return Height above the current position before
returning.
Relative Return Example: If the Return Height is 32 ft and the
drone is at 20 ft at the time the return is commanded, Skydio
X2 will ascend 32 ft and then return at a height of 52 ft.
In addition to Return Height and Height Behavior, you can
also customize the following return settings:
• Drone Looks - Skydio X2 will either look toward or
away from the return destination while returning.
• Return Type (AEF Only) - Unique to the Autonomy
Enterprise Foundation, this setting tells the drone
to return using GPS or the drone’s vision system. Set
your return type to Vision when you fly in GPS-denied
environments.
• Wait Before Return - Set how long Skydio X2 should
wait after it loses communication before it returns
to the launch point (or Home Point if one was set).
This wait time gives X2 time to try to re-establish a
connection to the controller. When the drone and
controller are still connected and you command a
return, X2 will return immediately without waiting.
• Return Speed - Set the speed at which Skydio X2
should fly when returning.

GPS vs Visual Return (AEF Only)

GPS or its vision navigation system to return to the launch location.
