Will APM 2.5 complete mission if out of radio range?

When I set waypoints in Mission Planner and send them to my APM 2.5, I assume that when I switch to AUTO it will complete the mission even if the Arducopter goes out of radio or telemetry range. The mission is stored onboard and needs no other input, is this correct?

    Why will it go out of range? Is the mission beyond  RC range? How far or furthest is  waypoints? How many waypoints are you planning? Simple answer is NO, as soon as RC link is lost RTL is triggered but to be certain you need to elaborate.

  • Presumably you'd need to disable throttle failsafe and ensure your radio didn't have a failsafe that compromised the mission (eg. didn't toggle the mode out of auto).
