When GPS Night Flight is enabled, Skydio X2 does not use its vision system and obstacle avoidance is disabled. Take extra
caution when piloting the drone to avoid obstacles and stay clear of people.
Visibility
Improve visibility by enabling X2’s infrared or visible strobe lights. Skydio X2’s strobe lights meet the FAA requirement of being
visible at a distance of 3 statute miles.
Return behavior
Review X2’s return behavior in the Drone Settings menu, paying particular attention to the return height setting. Skydio X2 does
not avoid obstacles when in GPS Night Flight mode, so you may want to set the drone’s return height such that it will be above
any potential obstacles.
Landing
When landing, use the controller joystick to descend down to 15 ft., then once you’re ready to land, press and hold the “LAND”
button on the screen or the controller.
WARNING: Never hand launch or land Skydio X2 when in GPS Night Flight mode.
