If you choose to disable your indoor Height Ceiling, ensure that your drone maintains a distance of 66 feet (20 meters) from any surfaces, such as walls or structures, to ensure robust visual navigation.

It is important to follow your local laws when flying your drone. The Height Ceilings are compliant with FAA guidelines. As a Skydio pilot, you are solely responsible for monitoring and managing your drone's battery life to ensure enough flight time to return safely.
