In an effort to reduce configuration space.
I've not seen use for this option.
If a pilot flies manually in position mode he has some visual reference of the vehicle and can do better than an autonomous mode without position reference.
Also by now we have nudging in Descend mode so the pilot can still give input and the only difference is it automatically goes down instead of the pilot having to descend by stick to land.
There were a number of cases where the state was not correct or not as
desired after disarming, when running an external mode 'MyMission' with
executor:
- run MyMission, which triggers Hold, then Land
- before: Mode: Hold, executor_in_charge: 1
- after: Mode: MyMission, executor_in_charge: 1
- run MyMission, then user switches to RTL
- before: Mode: MyMission, executor_in_charge: 0
- after: Mode: MyMission, executor_in_charge: 1
- run MyMission, then while in Hold mode, low battery failsafe (RTL)
- before: Mode: Hold, executor_in_charge: 1
- after: Mode: MyMission, executor_in_charge: 1
- run MyMission, then stop external mode (terminate the process)
- before: Mode: (mode not available), executor_in_charge: 0
- after: Mode: Hold, executor_in_charge: 0
This case is unchanged:
- run MyMission, then low battery failsafe (RTL)
- before: Mode: MyMission, executor_in_charge: 1
- after: Mode: MyMission, executor_in_charge: 1
