you initiate a Skill or fly manually
Step 4 - After launching, fly laterally to acquire a GPS lock.
This is a critical step that must be taken if you are going to
fly your drone over water.
Confirm you have a GPS lock by testing if your drone can
ascend beyond 33 ft (10 m) above ground when outdoors.
NOTE: Skydio requires a stable GPS connection for outdoor flight at an altitude greater than 33 ft (10 m) above its
point of takeo or the currently tracked subject. This may not be possible when flying in GPS denied environments
such as indoors, heavy urban areas, and deep canyons; or when flying near large metal structures such as radio
towers and bridges. Fly a few meters in a lateral motion (forward, backward, left, or right) to acquire a GPS lock. The
indoor height ceiling is 66 ft (20 m) and can be toggled o.
Before you begin your first flight, please read and follow all of the safety guidelines https://skydio.com/safety.
