Hi Andrew,

Can you post your mission and your parameter file? A tlog would also be good.

The last minute crosstrack might indicate your WP_RADIUS is too small.

Cheers, Tridge

Thanks for the reply.  I'll post them up after work this evening.

Edwards, see another post of mine and Andrew Tridgel replied to it, your case seems to be the same.

Autolanding has to be ensured by the user with appropriate approach waypoints with decreasing altitude and  when the altitude is only few meters, only then Landing waypoint is set so that the plane does not glide much away from desired landing area.

Rana, Tridge:

Thanks for the replies and the video...I played with the sim a little more with the tweeks you recommended and things worked out better.  I doubled the WP_radius  to 60m (I'll go larger too and see what that does).

I followed Rana's recommendation of having the last few waypoints more closely spaced and incrementally lower. The last waypoint before the land command was 3m AGL and immediately next to the land command point.  That seemed to do the trick.

Regardless, I think I have a bit more tinkering and reading to do before I feel confident in what ardupilot is doing before I send it up in my plane.

Thanks again,

Andy
