Love this idea - some suggestions.
Very interesting, I would instead have a suggestion for a much more solid approach in my opinion, since yours is great for taxiing takeoffs but not for hand launches, which is often not necessarily the direction of the runway. Instead, here is what I propose, in my opinion the most logical and hyper simple: if there was the possibility in Ardupilot to fix two points on the runway, to indicate LR of the correct axis would be more than enough to tell Ardupilot to use that line to perform any kind of LAND, so something like this. In this very simple approach Ardupilot knows of the runway the direction, the center and the correct length, so he knows that that is the runway in all its useful aspects. |
@robustini many people never use MP after initial setup and arent comfortable with mission planning....I never use missions other than autotakeoff/do-land-start/landing sequence with my mission selector app to select land direction for my field based on wind direction....or my UniversalAutoLand lua when travelling to other locations this is the C++ implementation of my UniversalAutoLand lua script which I use when traveling and just stop at a location and fly...no laptop used.. |

Should this be disabling fences (autoenabled, and floor) when doing a landing? |
It does a NAV_LAND....so whatever it does or does not |

Captures ground course when gnd speed reaches 5m/s as takeoff direction in NAV_TAKEOFF and Mode Takeoff (if a reliable way to obtain a takeoff direction in other modes is determined, this can be expanded in the future)
Currently valid only for fixed wing configuration, quadplane wont enter mode...
Upon entry creates a final approach waypoint at parameterized distance and alt from home in the opposite direction of autotakeoff direction, flies to it and does a land exactly like NAV_LAND using full landing code for aborts. (Emulates my UniversalAutoLand LUA script #28591)
If a DO_LAND_START sequence(s) exist, will jump to them insteadIf takeoff direction has not been captured then it will just not enterthe mode
If not flying it will not enter the mode
Adds it as a long failsafe action (will RTL if no takeoff direction has been captured)...qplane ignores it
Includes an autotest
