(16 m/s). Close - Skydio X2 will stay about 11 in (28 cm) away from obstacles. When in this mode, X2s top ground speed is limited to 18 mph (8 m/s). Minimal - Skydio X2 will stay about 4 in (10 cm) away from obstacles. When in this mode, X2s top ground speed is limited to 18 mph (8 m/s). Disabled - Skydio X2 will not avoid obstacles. When in this mode, X2s top ground speed is limited to 18 mph (8 m/s). WARNING: Flying with Close, Minimal or Disabled obstacle avoidance settings greatly increases Skydio X2s risk of collision. Take caution when flying in these modes. Minimal or Disabled obstacle avoidance settings are for limited use cases to slowly and carefully navigate tight spaces, and should only be used if you are an experienced pilot. Skydio recommends turning down Controller throttle, roll and pitch sensitivity to the lowest setting and proceeding at a max speed of 2 mph (1 m/s). NOTE: When Obstacle Avoidance is set to any mode other than Standard, the drones top speed of 18 mph (8 m/s) will be observed for automated actions such as Return to Home and flight between waypoints. This top speed will override any speed settings you have set in the app. DEVICE SETTINGS / DRONE SETTINGS 30 Skydio X2 - User guide 2021 Skydio, Inc. All rights reserved. Show Thermal Toggles the display of the thermal camera live feed. On by default, when in flight you will see the live feed from the color camera in the app, as well as a small picture-in-picture (PIP) feed from the thermal camera. If you toggle Show Thermal to off, you will only see the live feed from the color camera. DEVICE SETTINGS / DRONE SETTINGS 31 Skydio X2 - User guide 2021 Skydio, Inc. All rights reserved. Return Behavior The Return Behavior settings allows you to customize the way Skydio X2 behaves after initiating a return. Drone Looks - Skydio X2 will either look toward or away from the return destination while returning. Return Type (AEF Only) - Unique to the Autonomy Enterprise Foundation, this setting tells the drone to return using GPS or the drones vision system. Set your return type to Vision when you fly in GPS-denied environments. X2 will retain its obstacle avoidance setting when returning with Vision or GPS. For more information about Skydio X2s return behavior, see the Returning section on page 58. Wait Before Return - Set how long Skydio X2 should wait after it loses communication before it returns to the launch point (or Home Point if one was set). This wait time gives X2 time to try to re-establish a connection to the controller. When the drone and controller are still connected and you command a return, X2 will return immediately without waiting. Return Height - Set the height to which Skydio X2 should ascend before returning. By default the return height is set to 66 ft/20m, meaning Skydio X2 will ascend to that height before returning. Height Behavior - When set to Absolute, the drone will ascend to the specified Return Height (above the launch point) before returning. When set to Relative, Skydio X2 will ascend by the specified Return Height above the current position before returning. Skydio X2s default Height Behavior is set to Relative. See the Returning section on page 58 for more information. Return Speed - Set the speed at which Skydio X2 should fly when returning. Reference the Returning section on page 58 for more information.

Lights NOTE: This setting does not persist over battery swaps and power cycles. Each time you power on your drone, you will need to re-configure your Lights setting. Toggle the lights on your X2 motors to display the colored LEDs (RGB), infrared sensors, or white strobe lights:

RGB - Toggled on by default. These are the standard LEDs on the motors that are blue when the drone is powered on, and red and green when in flight. You can choose to toggle these off. Infrared - Infrared sensors that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Toggle these on when needing to fly more discreetly, and use night vision goggles to view the infrared lights on the drone. Strobe - Displays a white strobe light on the motors. Helps visually keep track of the drone, especially in low-light conditions. Skydio X2s strobe lights are visible at a distance of 3 statute miles. NOTE: You can toggle on either Strobe or Infrared lights, but DEVICE SETTINGS / DRONE SETTINGS 33 Skydio X2 - User guide 2021 Skydio, Inc. All rights reserved. GPS Night Flight NOTE: This setting does not persist over battery swaps and power cycles. Each time you power on your drone, you will need to re-enter GPS Night Flight mode if desired. Enable GPS Night Flight when planning to fly in low-light conditions. When in this mode, Skydio X2 will use GPS sensors, instead of its vision system, to navigate. WARNING: Skydio X2s GPS Night Flight mode requires flying without obstacle avoidance. Skydio X2 may drift slightly when in GPS Night Flight mode; take extra caution when flying in this mode and do not stand near the vehicle. NOTE: This mode requires calibrating the X2s magnetometer prior to takeoff. The first time you toggle on GPS Night Flight, the app will prompt you to calibrate the drone. Follow the onscreen instructions to calibrate X2, rotating the drone once on each axis. Once calibrated, you may not need to calibrate the drone again for several weeks or even months, depending on the environment. Calibration is not necessary when entering GPS Night Flight during a flight. Whenever a calibration is needed, you will be notified in the app. If you are unable to switch out of GPS Night Flight, this may be because the conditions are not clear enough for Skydio X2s obstacle avoidance and vision system. Wait 10-20 seconds and if the issue persists, land the vehicle. See GPS Night Flight on page 70 for more information. DEVICE SETTINGS / CONTROLLER SETTINGS 34 Skydio X2 - User guide 2021 Skydio, Inc.

All rights reserved. LAUNCHING Launching Set your Skydio X2 down on clear, flat ground at least 10 feet away from you. You may also use the top of Skydio X2s case as a convenient launch and landing pad. Launching Skydio X2 is as simple as holding the Launch button in the app or on the Skydio Enterprise Controller. Once Skydio X2 is in the air, it will hover in place until you initiate a skill or use the controller to start flying. NOTE: Skydio X2 requires a stable GPS connection to fly greater than 33 ft (10 m) above its point of takeoff. 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. If you are having any difficulty getting your Skydio X2 to fly above 33 ft (10 m), you may need to fly a few feet in a lateral motion

(forward, backward, left, or right) to establish heading. FLYING SKYDIO X2 / THE FLIGHT SCREEN 38 Skydio X2 - User guide 2021 Skydio, Inc. All rights reserved.

If a Home Point has been set for this flight, the Launch Point option will be replaced with Home Point. Skydio Enterprise Controller - The Return Button commands Skydio X2 to return to its launch location. If you have set a Home Point on the map, pressing the Return Button will command Skydio X2 to return to the Home Point instead of the launch location. 58 Skydio X2 - User guide 2021 Skydio, Inc. All rights reserved. RETURNING Return Height & Behavior Any time a return is triggered, either by the pilot or an emergency procedure, Skydio X2 will first ascend to a specified height before returning. You can customize this return height in the Drone Settings menu. If the Height Behavior is set to Absolute, the drone will ascend to the specified Return Height (above the launch point) before returning. When set to Relative, Skydio X2 will ascend by the specified Return Height above the current position before returning. Relative Return Example: If the Return Height is 32 ft and the drone is at 20 ft at the time the return is commanded, Skydio X2 will ascend 32 ft and then return at a height of 52 ft. In addition to Return Height and Height Behavior, you can also customize the following return settings:

Drone Looks - Skydio X2 will either look toward or away from the return destination while returning. Return Type (AEF Only) - Unique to the Autonomy Enterprise Foundation, this setting tells the drone to return using GPS or the drones vision system. Set your return type to Vision when you fly in GPS-denied environments. Wait Before Return - Set how long Skydio X2 should wait after it loses communication before it returns to the launch point (or Home Point if one was set). This wait time gives X2 time to try to re-establish a connection to the controller. When the drone and controller are still connected and you command a return, X2 will return immediately without waiting. Return Speed - Set the speed at which Skydio X2 should fly when returning. RETURNING 59 Skydio X2 - User guide 2021 Skydio, Inc. All rights reserved. GPS vs Visual Return (AEF Only) Based on the Return Type you selected in the Drone Settings menu, your Skydio X2 will use either GPS or its vision navigation system to return to the launch location. Visual return is a great option when youre planning to fly in GPS-denied environments, while GPS is best when performing longer-distance returns with your Skydio X2. How does Visual Return work?

When the Return Type is set to Vision, and you initiate a return to the Launch Point, Skydio X2 does not require a GPS signal and will use its vision navigation system to return to that point. Visual return will ONLY work with the Launch Point. Flying to a set Home Point or to your controller will require GPS. Reference the table below to see how Skydio X2 returns based on Return Type. Video Mode Return Type = GPS Return Type = VISION Return to Launch Point Skydio X2 will use GPS to return to launch point specified location Skydio X2 will use Visual Navigation to return to launch point Return to Controller Skydio X2 will use GPS to return to controller location Not supported in visual navigation. Skydio X2 will use GPS to return to Controller location Not supported in visual navigation. Skydio X2 will use GPS to return to home point Return to Home Point Skydio X2 will use GPS to return to home point Not supported in visual navigation. Skydio X2 will use GPS to fly to specified location Fly Here Now Skydio X2 will use GPS to fly to RETURNING 60 Skydio X2 - User guide 2021 Skydio, Inc. All rights reserved. GPS vs Visual Return (AEF Only) (cont.) If Skydio X2 does not have a GPS signal, and Return Type is set to Vision, when you tap the Return to Home button in the app you will see the options: CONTROLLER or LAUNCH POINT Select Launch Point as your Return Location, since this point has been saved in Skydio X2s vision navigation system and does not require GPS to return. If you select Controller, Skydio X2 will return using GPS and may not return reliably if flying in a GPS-denied environment. 61 Skydio X2 - User guide 2021 Skydio, Inc. All rights reserved. LANDING Landing When you are ready to end your flight and land your drone, first stop any subject tracking and manually fly the drone to a safe landing spot that is flat, clear of debris, and not overhead of any people or animals. Use the controller joystick to descend down to 15 ft., then once youre ready to land, press and hold the LAND button on the screen or the controller. Skydio X2 will descend until it is 10 ft (3 m) above the surface below it. Once Skydio X2 is less than 10 ft from the surface, all obstacle avoidance will be disabled for the remainder of the landing. You will be notified of this change on screen if flying with the Skydio Enterprise app. When in GPS Night Flight mode, obstacle avoidance is always disabled, regardless of Skydio X2s height above ground. WARNING: Skydio may recognize bushes, trees, and similar obstacles as potential surfaces. Make sure to first pilot the drone to an open area free of obstacles before initiating a landing. While Skydio X2 is landing you may nudge the drone forwards, backward, left, or right using Controller or digital thumbsticks in the app. Yaw control is disabled during landing. Increasing the drones altitude will cancel the landing. WARNING: Do not attempt hand-landing Skydio X2 before obstacle avoidance is disabled. Attempting to hand-land Skydio X2 while obstacle avoidance is active will cause it to attempt to avoid your hand and may result in Skydio X2 impacting yourself or another nearby object. Please review the Hand Launching and Landing section for step-by-step instructions and safety guidelines for this procedure. You may also cancel any non-emergency landing by tapping the Cancel button before the landing completes, or using the controller to increase the drones altitude. 62 Skydio X2 - User guide 2021 Skydio, Inc. All rights reserved. LANDING Case landing When you are unable to find a level area to land your Skydio X2, case landing is a great way to precisely land your drone a few inches above dirt or vegetation. To perform a case landing:

1. Position the drone about 10 ft above the case. 2. Use the gimbal control to tilt the camera down so the case and Skydio logo are clearly in view. 3. Press and hold the land button in the app or on the controller to initiate a landing. If the drone locks on to the case, a yellow ring will circle the Skydio logo. 4. If you do not see the yellow ring, cancel the landing and try again. NOTE: To initiate a case landing, the Skydio case must be in view of Skydio X2s camera while it is landing. A yellow ring will appear around the case in the live video feed to indicate that Skydio X2 has seen the case and will land on it. If you do not see the yellow ring, Skydio X2 will not land on the case and will continue to descend straight down. CAUTION: Piloting or nudging the vehicle during a case landing will cancel the case landing and continue with a normal landing. Be careful not to accidentally touch the controller joysticks while X2 is performing a case landing. NOTE: If a flight is initiated by taking off from a case (or a case is placed at Skydio X2s exact take off point), GPS positional accuracy cannot be relied upon to guarantee a case landing when using the Return to Home function (or in the case of a Return To Home triggered by lost communication).

Take extra caution when piloting the drone to avoid obstacles and stay clear of people. Improve visibility by enabling X2s infrared or visible strobe lights. Skydio X2s strobe lights meet the FAA requirement of being visible at a distance of 3 statute miles. Review X2s return behavior in the Drone Settings menu, paying particular attention to the return height setting. Skydio X2 does not avoid obstacles when in GPS Night Flight mode, so you may want to set the drones return height such that it will be above any potential obstacles. Visibility Return behavior Landing When landing, use the controller joystick to descend down to 15 ft., then once youre ready to land, press and hold the LAND button on the screen or the controller. WARNING: Never hand launch or land Skydio X2 when in GPS Night Flight mode. HAND LAUNCHING AND LANDING 74 Skydio X2 - User guide 2021 Skydio, Inc. All rights reserved. Hand launching and landing WARNING: Launching and landing of the Skydio X2 drone from your hand is an advanced maneuver only to be used when it is necessary, and it is advised that you do so only if you are an experienced pilot and you cannot find a clear flat spot to take off or land. Hand launching CAUTION: High risk of injury. To avoid injury stay away from and do not touch rotating propellers when they are spinning. Skydio does not recommend launching the drone while holding the drone in your hand. WARNING: Exercise extreme care to avoid injury if the drone takes off from your hand. NEVER hand launch your X2 when in GPS Night Flight mode, as it may cause severe injury. 1. Find a clear spot to launch your Skydio X2. When hand launching, the area 10 feet (3 m) above you, 15 feet

(4.5 m) in front of you, and 3 feet (1 m) on either side of you should be clear. 2. DO NOT hand launch on windy days. If there is any wind, for your safety make sure that it is blowing at your back, and never towards you. If the wind is gusty or coming from different directions, consider launching from the ground, or flying at another time. 3. Hold your Skydio X2 from behind and pointed away from you, with your hand lightly gripping the battery from underneath. Its critical that you keep your fingers below the Skydio X2 chassis and away from the propellers at all times. 4. Point the front camera away from you and hold your Skydio X2 away from your body, level and still. Ensure your arm is extended such that the rear propellers will not make contact with your arm. 5. Using your other hand, initiate a launch of the Skydio X2 using the controller Launch/Land button. 6. Release Skydio X2 carefully as the propellers begin to spin up by slowly relaxing your grip. Keep your hand still -

Skydio X2 will simply slide off your palm and take flight on its own. There is no need to push the drone up in the air - just release your grip and use your flattened hand as a takeoff platform. 75 Skydio X2 - User guide 2021 Skydio, Inc. All rights reserved.

Boot Sequence When first turning on the radio, the below power on sequence must be used to ensure that the radio will operate correctly:

Module Mechanical Integration The SkydioLink 5GHz Radio snaps into place using the two board to board connectors (Hirose DF30FC-40DP-0.4V) on the lower side of the module. All power and signal lines are passed via J9800, and J9801 is only used to secure the module in place instead of using screws. When installing the module, it is important to ensure that the technician using ESD protection On the end device, the spacing and board to board MPN must match the module side specifications:

Mating board to board type: DF30FC-40DS-0.4V Mating Board to board spacing: 38.44mm, Antenna Connectors The radio module uses two I-PEX u.FL connectors (20441-001E-01) to connect external antennas to the module. The connectors are snapped an place, and do not require any external pressure or screws. On the antenna cable, the mating connector is an I-PEX 20351-1 series (or equivalent) connector. Antenna types and gains must follow the FCC / IC regulatory filings submitted by Skydio. Thermal Management In order to prevent overheating when operating at high power levels, it is important to move heat out of the module. It is recommended to heat sink via the shield can on the top of the module, which has a direct thermal interface to the radio & front end module components that generate the most heat. An example of this is shown below on the Skydio X2 UAV, using a graphite strap to move heat from the module to the UAV chassis. Usage Guidelines Power & frequency settings are not advised to be exposed to the user, and should be set at the factory to ensure that the radio is correctly configured relative to the regulatory filings submitted by Skydio. Regional Settings All power levels & frequency bands must follow regional restrictions. Two methods can be used to ensure that these are followed:

1. During a factory installation, set the power tables based on the intended country of sale for the specific end device SKU 2. Use GPS data from the host device to select a specific power table to be referenced. This is recommended for devices that are portable. Note that the end device ultimately controls power levels, frequency band and other radio settings and it is up to the end device manufacturer to ensure compliance with existing filings for this module.

Letter of changes for Class II Permissive Change Date: June 2, 2021 Skydio, Inc 114 Hael Avenue Redwood City, CA 94061 To Whom It May Concern:

Change Details Sincerely, Joe Marcinkowski Engineering Program Manager Skydio is requesting to amend the limited module approval grant for FCC ID: 2ATQRSMO5GV1 to include a lower power, increased duty cycle mode when integrated into the Skydio X2 Enterprise Controller. Due to specific absorption rate (SAR) restrictions, the original grant allowing the use of the 2ATQRSMO5GV1 module in the Skydio X2 Enterprise Controller was limiting to a max duty cycle of 30%, when transmitting at 27dBm in the UNII-3 band. This change adds a separate daa anfe mde, which reduces the power output to a maximum of 23 dBm, while increasing the duty cycle to 100%. Both modes comply with the RF Exposure body worn limits, with the maximum power level and duty cycle being set simultaneously. The controller will transition to the high power mode when the drone starts flying.

Modular Approval Letter for FCC and Canada Date: March 5, 2021 Skydio, Inc 114 Hazel Avenue Redwood City, CA 94061 To Whom It May Concern:

Skydio is requesting a Limited Modular Approval for the 5GHz Skydio Link module (FCC ID:

2ATQRSMO5GV1) The radio module satisfies the below requirements from FCC Section 15.212:

(i) The radio elements of the modular transmitter must have their own shielding. The physical crystal and tuning capacitors may be located external to the shielded radio Elements. All primary radio components are located below the shield can. There is an additional shielded area on the bottom side of the module, covering supply capacitors and related support circuitry for two Skywork modules. The unshielded components located on the bottom of the module are discrete RLC components that support power circuitry of the radio.

(ii) The modular transmitter must have buffered modulation/data inputs (if such inputs are provided) to ensure that the module will comply with part 15 requirements under conditions of excessive data rates or over-modulation. Data packets are stored in the host processor memory and the modulation per data packet would be configured by the WLAN SOC.

(iii) The modular transmitter must have its own power supply regulation. The modular transmitter has power supply regulation via a Low Dropout Regulator. This component regulates the power supply to the Radio component from 3.3V to 1.1V.

(iv) The modular transmitter must comply with the antenna and transmission system requirements of 15.203, 15.204(b) and 15.204(c). The antenna must either be permanently attached or employ a unique antenna coupler (at all connections between the module and the antenna, including the cable). The professional installation provision of 15.203 is not applicable to modules but can apply to limited modular approvals under paragraph (b) of this section. The modular transmitter uses a unique antenna coupler in the form of two u.FL connectors

(vi) The modular transmitter must be equipped with either a permanently affixed label or must be capable of electronically displaying its FCC identification number. The module will have a label affixed to the upper shield can.

(vii) The modular transmitter must comply with any specific rules or operating requirements that ordinarily apply to a complete transmitter and the manufacturer must provide adequate instructions along with the module to explain any such requirements. A copy of these instructions must be included in the application for equipment Authorization. The modular transmitter follows all specific rules and operating requirements, as validated by the NRTL. An instruction manual is included in the application for equipment Authorization.

(viii) Radio frequency devices operating under the provisions of this part are subject to the radio frequency radiation exposure requirements specified in 1.1307(b), 1.1310, 2.1091, and 2.1093 of this chapter, as appropriate. Applications for equipment authorization of modular transmitters under this section must contain a statement confirming compliance with these requirements. The modular transmitter must comply with any applicable RF exposure requirements in its final configuration. Technical information showing the basis for this statement must be submitted to the Commission upon request. This modular transmitter is not subject to radio frequency radiation exposure requirements. The radio module does not satisfies the below requirements from FCC Section 15.212, forming the basis for the limited modular approval:

(v) The modular transmitter must be tested in a stand-alone configuration, i.e., the module must not be inside another device during testing for compliance with part 15 requirements. Unless the transmitter module will be battery powered, it must comply with the AC line conducted requirements found in 15.207. AC or DC power lines and data input/output lines connected to the module must not contain ferrites, unless they will be marketed with the module (see 15.27(a)). The length of these lines shall be the length typical of actual use or, if that length is unknown, at least 10 centimeters to insure that there is no coupling between the case of the module and supporting equipment. Any accessories, peripherals, or support equipment connected to the module during testing shall be unmodified and commercially available (see 15.31(i)). The module will be tested in an open Skydio 2 UAV, using the UAV main logic as the for power and control inputs. Sincerely, Joe Marcinkowski Engineering Program Manager
