Another Flight mode function #601

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
We use the APM2 in FPV for safety reason to have a good autoilot once someting 
might fail to be sure it comes back safely.
We are located in the alps and also fly there, so it happend that when the 
autopilot takes over control it directly fly into a hill or something else 
which is in between the pilot and the plane.

To prevent this scenario we wish a new flight mode which proceed as follow:

- plane recognize it`s heading and hold it
- plane gives full throttle and begin to climb (max. climb angle) 
- it climbs for a pre defined amount, based on the height at the moment of 
activation this mode
- once it reaches the height it turns to launch point
- hold the altitude while fly back
- turn around that point (loiter)
- descending to the default altitude

I hope to find someone here which could assist us on this...

And I relly hope to improve the APM2 with that functionality.

Kind regards, Chris
