FAA rescinds operation-over-people permission for parachute equipped Skydio X10

The Federal Aviation Administration has rescinded an operations over people (OOP) declaration of compliance (DOC) for the Skydio X10 with AVSS Parachute Recovery System (PRS-X10), effective immediately.

According to a notice published on the federal register:

“On August 26, 2024, the FAA evaluated and accepted a DOC application submitted by Aerial Vehicle Safety Solutions (AVSS) for the Skydio X10 with AVSS Parachute Recovery System (PRS-X10). The assigned tracking number was OOP000000176. On April 2, 2025, AVSS voluntarily requested that the FAA rescind the DOC for the Skydio X10 with AVSS Parachute Recovery System (PRS-X10). AVSS indicated that they are no longer supporting this unmanned aircraft configuration and that no production units were sold.

Basis for Recission: AVSS voluntarily requested the recission of the DOC for the Skydio X10 with AVSS Parachute Recovery System (PRS-X10) because it is no longer supporting the system. This will not affect any production units because none were sold. Based on this information, the FAA determined that a recission is warranted.”
