Page 19: Obstacle Avoidance
Skydio X2D uses six 4K navigation cameras and a main subject camera for visual navigation resulting in unparalleled 360° obstacle avoidance. Skydio X2D will maintain a distance of 25 in (63.5 cm) away from objects (measured from the propeller to the obstacle). You can reduce your obstacle margin in flight, enabling up close object inspection. -
Page 20: Gps Night Flight
Establishing lost signal connection return behaviors is a critical component in pre-flight planning to ensure that your Skydio X2D returns safely and lands in an accessible location. Wait before Return - specify the amount of time that you want X2D to wait before it initiates a return flight, allowing time to reconnect. -
Page 21: Maintenance
A routine preflight inspection should include the propellers to ensure that they are in good working condition. Skydio recommends replacing your propellers after 100 hours of flight time or whenever you notice any damage for optimal performance. Replace all propellers in the hub, even if only one is damaged, to reduce any potential variations and to make it easier to track propeller flight time. - Page 22 WARNING: Failure to match the markings on the propeller to those on the propeller hub is a safety hazard and may result in potential serious damage to the drone and serious bodily harm or injury to you and bystanders.
