Flight logs allow our support team to troubleshoot any issues or questions you may have. Skydio will never review your videos or data without your permission. Do not reformat or factory reset your Skydio drone prior to contacting our support team.
[warning text="Powering off the drone immediately after a landing or a crash will result in missing data in the flight logs. Always allow your drone to complete post-flight operations before powering off. Removing, swapping, or altering file names on the media card will impact the availability of the flight logs. If the drone body or the cameras have been damaged in any way, please do not attempt to fly until Customer Support has investigated the logs and determined a resolution."]
