# Test FW_01 - Manual Modes

## Objective

To test that manual flight modes work as expected for fixed wing vehicles.

## Preflight

Ensure that the vehicle can go into Stabilized, Altitude, and Position mode while still on the ground.

## Flight Tests

❏ Stabilized

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;❏ Wings level with stick centered

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;❏ Pitch/Roll response with correct bank angle limits

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;❏ Yaw coordination

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;❏ Throttle response 1:1

❏ Altitude

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;❏ Altitude should hold current value with stick centered

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;❏ Pitch input controls climb/descend rate

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;❏ Throttle automatically managed to maintain airspeed

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;❏ Roll/Yaw respond correctly to stick movement

❏ Position

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;❏ Vehicle should hold current heading and loiter with stick centered

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;❏ Altitude should hold current value

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;❏ Roll input commands heading change

## Expected Results

- Takeoff should be smooth (hand launch or runway)
- No oscillations should be present in any of the above flight modes
- Vehicle should maintain stable flight throughout all mode transitions
- Landing approach should be stable and controllable
