• When landing, Skydio 2 descends straight down and does not avoid obstacles. Ensure your landing
area is flat and clear of obstacles. Stay clear of the landing area to avoid injury.
• Do not intentionally try to crash Skydio 2.
• Fly indoors with caution in well-lit, large, open areas such as warehouses or gymnasiums. Avoid flying
near glass, mirrors, textureless walls, dark areas, or polished, reflective flooring.
• Do not fly in temperatures below 23° F (-5°C) or above 104°F (40°C). Endurance may be degraded when
operating near temperature limits.
• When flying in temperatures below 32°F (0°C), ensure your batteries are room temperature (50°F / 10°C)
prior to takeo.
• Do not fly Skydio 2 in high winds or gusts above 25 mph (40 km/h). Skydio 2 will automatically Return to
Home (RTH) if it is too hot.
• Skydio 2 is not weatherproof and requires good visibility. Do not fly in any precipitation, including rain,
fog, or snow.
• Do not fly over bodies of water more than 30 ft (3 m) across.
• Do not fly around thin branches, telephone or power lines, ropes, netting, wires, chain link fencing or
other objects less than .5 in (1.27 cm) in diameter.
• Skydio 2 only avoids obstacles that are not in motion. Cars, boats, balls, animals, other drones, other
people, or similar moving objects may not be avoided. You should exercise extreme caution and good
judgment when flying near people.
• Do not fly around transparent or reflective surfaces such as windows or mirrors greater than 23 in (58 cm)
wide.
• If your Skydio 2 strikes an obstacle it will attempt to stabilize and continue the flight.
• When the sun is low on the horizon, it can temporarily blind the cameras depending on the drone’s
angle. Your drone may be cautious or jerky when flying directly toward the sun.
• Skydio 2 flight speed is ~36 mph/58 km/h (ground speed) or 25 mph/40 km/h (air speed) under most
conditions.
• Standard obstacle avoidance is enabled when Skydio 2 is autonomously executing a 3D Scan. Close,
Minimal, or Disabled obstacle avoidance is only accessible when manually capturing photos.
• Skydio 2 will alert you if it encounters an error or determines the environment is not safe for flying. When
instructed to do so, immediately fly Skydio 2 to the safest area and land.
• Flying at high altitudes may significantly increase the time required to return and safely land. The pilot
in command is responsible for managing altitude, range, and battery level at all times. Monitor in-app
messages and alerts.
• Skydio 2 is NOT A TOY and should not be used or handled by a person under the age of 18.
