Then I downloaded the ArduPilot-software to check and noticed that in the…"

"Hi Erik,

Yes, you fly your airplane with your transmitter, switch to AUTO and the plane will fly to the waypoints previously programmed. When it is done, it will return to where you started (where you got GPS lock) and circle around that position…"
