### Position Loss Failsafe Action
Multicopters will switch to [Altitude mode](../flight_modes_mc/altitude.md) if a height estimate is available, otherwise [Stabilized mode](../flight_modes_mc/manual_stabilized.md).
Fixed-wing planes, and VTOLs not configured to land in hover ([NAV_FORCE_VT](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#NAV_FORCE_VT)), have a parameter ([FW_GPSF_LT](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#FW_GPSF_LT)) that defines how long they will loiter (circle with a constant roll angle ([FW_GPSF_R](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#FW_GPSF_R)) at the current altitude) after losing position before attempting to land.
If VTOLs have are configured to switch to hover for landing ([NAV_FORCE_VT](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#NAV_FORCE_VT)) then they will first transition and then descend.
