Never take off with less than 10 satellites locked on.
You are correct. However, if it has not been used for some time or in the case when it is new out of the box, you can have 10 satellites locked but the tables are not up to date. Rule I have always followed is to wait 12 to 15 minutes after power on before first flight of the day. I use this time to get things ready and do pre-check etc Don't know why this is not more common knowledge..
