<p>Parrot regularly releases firmware updates for FreeFlight application, Drone, Smart Battery and Skycontroller to add new features and improve stability and performance of the complete system. These updates are mandatory and should systematically be performed prior to any flight to ensure maximum performance and safety. Flying with a non-up to date system may impact warranty rights and jeopardize safety requirements.</p>
