Throttles up more than should and descend when switching to Auto or during Auto mission #821

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Switching to Auto from manual/stabilize (Majority of the cases)
2. Halfway during Auto mission..between waypoints (rare)
3. End of Auto mission 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

It should maintain the altitude and throttle set by user for the waypoints set. 
Happens mostly between Waypoint 1 and 2 after switching to Auto from stabilize. 
Randomly happens..we can fly for many flights smoothly and it can happen on the 
next day the very minute we switch to Auto. Sometimes when we detect the issue, 
able to switch to stabilize/manual and recover but sometimes no response and 
airplane just plummet to the ground. Tlogs show Output 3 increases by itself 
and Pitch seems to hit a ceiling.

Just to be sure, you're not talking about going from alt-hold to manual mode 
and having the throttle stick down below half way?

Hi, definitely not,as this is Ardu plane and it does not have alt hold. It 
happens in auto mode.
