declaration of compliance (DOC) for the Skydio X10 with AVSS Parachute 
Recovery System (PRS-X10) unmanned aircraft with the assigned tracking 
number OOP000000176 that the FAA accepted on August 26, 2024, effective

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 
    Background: Title 14, Code of Federal Regulations (14 CFR) part 
107, subpart D, establishes requirements for unmanned aircraft 
operations over people in the airspace of the United States. A person 
that designs, produces, or modifies an unmanned aircraft for category 2 
or category 3 operations over people must show that the unmanned 
aircraft complies with the requirements in Sec.  107.120 or Sec.  
107.130 by following a FAA-accepted means of compliance (MOC). A person 
declares that an unmanned aircraft has been designed and produced to 
meet the applicable requirements of Sec.  107.120 or Sec.  107.130 by 
submitting a declaration of compliance (DOC) in accordance with the 
requirements in Sec.  107.160 using the FAA's UAS Declaration of 
Compliance website (uasdoc.faa.gov).
    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.
    Recission: For the reasons stated herein, the FAA rescinds the DOC 
tracking number OOP000000176 for the Skydio X10 with AVSS Parachute 
Recovery System (PRS-X10) unmanned aircraft.

    Issued in Washington, DC, on September 16, 2025.
