Setting Up a Mission with a Takeoff and a Landing sequence for use in a Plane

Posted by Nathaniel Caner on September 14, 2013 at 5:39pm

Greetings,

I am at the stage where my plane is well tuned and I want to begin experimenting with Takeoff and Landing sequences. I can't find any good descriptions of how these commands should be setup for use with a plane.

Could someone please post a sample mission file with an explanation of how the commands work, including any variables I might need to consider.

Currently I'm using Arduplane v2.74b and have the most recent Mission Planner v1.2.78.

Regards,

Nathaniel ~KD2DEY

I noticed that my plane isn't slowing down to land. I have an airspeed sensor. It cuts the throttle and maintains cruise speed until touchdown which makes for a fast rather hard landing. Someone told me to try do_change_speed buy I'm not sure how best to utilize it. Not sure if it requires a dummy waypoint, or the best place to insert it. If you don't have an airspeed sensor then it will use the flare pitch parameter which should slow the plane down to approach speed.
