    FAA Remote ID: What the Rule Means for Your Skydio Drone (September 07 2022)

    Major landing trouble

    UPDATE: Skydio support replaced the 2+ that wouldn't land...no problems so far (the new one has Remote ID !?!). NOTE: there is a way to emergency land using the controller by holding down HOME + LAND at the same time for 3 sec, which cuts power to the rotors.

    Major landing trouble

    I conducted 5 flights with Skydio 2+ w/ controller on a windy day manual mode. I was getting some wind warnings but the drone was handing well. The first 3 flights completed with beautiful Case Landings. On the 4th flight the Skydio would not land either using the HOLD TO LAND icon in the app...
