When Skydio X2 battery is low, there will be a series of notifications and actions to ensure a safe landing:
•
X2 will assess your altitude and distance from the Home Point, and warn you when it is time to return home. It is
recommended that you initiate a return or land at this time, however you can choose to keep flying.
•
X2 will then notify you when it has 2 minutes of flight time left based on its current altitude and the battery
indicator will begin a two-minute countdown. You may choose to continue flying, however it is strongly
recommended that you fly to a safe location and land.
•
When the two-minute countdown is complete, X2 will initiate an automatic landing that you will be unable to
cancel. You will maintain the ability to nudge the drone in roll, pitch, and yaw to avoid any obstacles.
If X2 enters an unexpected state that it cannot recover from, it will automatically initiate an emergency landing. An
alert notification will display that X2 is initiating an emergency landing.
•
X2 will try to use the navigation cameras and GPS system to descend vertically. If these are not available, the
vehicle will descend quickly using only the barometer which may result in lateral drift.
•
If the emergency has been resolved X2 will stop emergency landing and you will regain control of the drone.
