Test MC_03 - Auto Manual Mix

Objective

To test switching between various modes

Preflight

  • Takeoff as first waypoint
  • Changes in Altitude throughout the mission
  • Last waypoint is a NOT RTL, but a normal waypoint
  • Duration of 5 to 6 minutes

Flight Tests

❏ Position + Mission

    ❏ Arm and take-off in Position mode

    ❏ Engage Auto

    ❏ Observe tracking and cornering

    ❏ Once mission has completed, switch back to Position mode

        ❏ Horizontal position should hold current value with stick centered

        ❏ Vertical position should hold current value with stick centered

        ❏ Throttle response set to Climbs/Descend rate

        ❏ Pitch/Roll/Yaw response set to Pitch/Roll/Yaw rates

    ❏ Engage RTL

    ❏ Upon touching ground, copter should disarm automatically within 2 seconds (disarm time set by parameter: COM_DISARM_LAND)

❏ Mission + Controller interruption

    ❏ Arm and take-off in Position mode

    ❏ Engage Auto

    ❏ Observe tracking and cornering

    ❏ Before the last waypoint mission is reached, move the control sticks and ensure the vehicle goes into Position flight mode

    ❏ Manually move the drone over the landing zone

    ❏ Engage Land mode

    ❏ Upon touching ground, copter should disarm automatically within 2 seconds (disarm time set by parameter: COM_DISARM_LAND)

Expected Results

  • Take-off should be smooth as throttle is raised
  • No oscillations should present in any of the above flight modes
  • When moving the control sticks the drone goes into Position flight mode
  • Upon landing, copter should not bounce on the ground
