1.1.4. Instructions
Note: When APM:Copter executes the Land command it will land from its current
location. It will not fly to a location, then land like the planes do. If you want to land at a
particular waypoint, you must fly to a normal WP, then the next command will be
Land. The Absolute Altitude checkbox in the Mission Planner is ignored. ArduCopter only
uses the default relative altitude.
In the screenshot above, a mission for arducopter starts with an auto takeoff to 20 meters
attitude; then goes to WP 2 rising to 100 meters altitude on the way, then waits 10 seconds; then
the craft will proceed to WP 3 (descending to 50 meters altitude on the way), then returns to
launch. Since the default altitude is 100 meters, the return to launch will be at 100 meters. After
reaching the launch position, the craft will land. The mission assumes that the launch position is
set at the home position.
