Battery level: The battery level icon helps you monitor your available flight time. The battery percentage dynamically changes during your flight based on altitude and distance from the return location. Monitor the Battery Indicator while flying to understand how much battery is required to return and land.

• Green indicates the battery capacity for nominal flight
• Yellow indicates how much battery is required to return safely
• Red indicates how much battery is required to land
• Lightning Bolt indicates the battery is connected and charging
• Three Dashes indicate the battery is disconnected

Connect MH and Connect SL Radio signal connection status indicator:

Displays the current strength of the signal connection between the X10D Controller and your X10D drone.

• For maximum wireless performance, always maintain a direct line of sight between the controller and Skydio X10D. Point the controller cover toward the drone, especially when flying at close range and high altitude.
• Signal strength and maximum control range may be affected when flying in areas with electromagnetic interference.

Navigation Health Indicator

The Navigation Health Indicator (previously called VIO/GPS Indicator) provides insight into the:

• Navigation source of the drone
• Health of the drone positioning systems
• Reliability of the navigation source
• Current positioning system that is actively being used (highlighted)

This indicator helps you quickly assess whether the drone is relying on Visual Navigation (VIO) or GPS and take action if navigation quality degrades.

• VIO - Visual Inertial Odometry
• GPS - Global Positioning System

If GPS is lost, Skydio X10D maintains continuous navigation using VIO. The drone will maintain stable VIO at altitudes up to 984 ft (300 m).

[caution] Monitor your GPS and VIO health in the telemetry bar. If both VIO and GPS become unreliable, your drone will enter Attitude Mode. [/caution]

Attitude Mode: If GPS and VIO fail during flight Skydio X10 will enter Attitude Mode.

• A red border will display, and a notification will warn you that you have Entered Attitude Mode.
• Manually control flight using the joysticks, the drone will not hold a position using VIO or GPS.

NOTE: Monitor your GPS and VIO health in the telemetry bar. If VIO and GPS both drop below 2 bars of health, your drone will enter Atti Mode. Visit How to Fly in Attitude Mode for more details.

Ground Speed: The drone's movement relative to the ground. It is true airspeed corrected for wind.

• For example, with a true airspeed of 100 knots and a tailwind of 20 knots, you'd be flying at a ground speed of 120 knots.

GPS Satellite: This represents the count of GPS satellites from which the drone receives signals. The higher the number of satellites, the more accurate the position and the greater the safety and reliability during flight. Establishing a strong GPS connection is important:

• Connection to 13 or more satellites is considered healthy
• Recommend 18 or more satellites before flying over water

Radio Frequency: Display the current radio frequency in the telemetry bar.

Step 1 - Select the Global Settings menu and the Display tab

Step 2 - Select Telemetry

Step 3 - Select the blue check to enable or disable the corresponding telemetry data

• Select up to 6 items 
• Altitude is required
