So I have been having this problem. I'm sorta new to apm. So what happens is that when I make a flight plan I would go into loiter mode if I lose the connection between apm and the mavlink. Has anybody encountered this ? i have the GSC failsafe off under the failsafe menu

thanks for the response guys. according to the logs it looks like it goes into failsafe CIRCLE . i only have RTL set up at with throttle failsafe. where is this setting for circle on failsafe
CMD, 3, 2, 16, 1, 0, 30.48, 41., -71.
CMD, 3, 3, 16, 1, 0, 30.48, 41., -71.
MODE, 16786, Manual, 0
MSG, Failsafe - Short event on,
MODE, 16787, Circle, 1
MSG, flight mode = 1
i will try another mission but i saw my recorded video from the mission and about where i lost mavlink connection the plane went into a circle pattern. i thought i had lost the plane becuase it wasnt coming back until i switched it to RTL on the remote and it finally came back. i was relieved but couldnt understand why. i need to learn how to view the entire logs becuase the only log that i could find was the mavlink log which stopped when it lost connection. i know that there is also a flash log but i didnt know which one was which. i erased all my logs to make a new lfight this weekend and try to figure out the problem.
Hi,
If GCS failsafe is off, that shouldn't happen!
Are you sure it is loiter mode? APM will do something looking like a loiter after the mission is complete. It will fly in circles above the home pose. It isn't loiter (nor RTL) but the flight pattern is the same.
