# Hold Mode (Multicopter)

<img src="../../assets/site/position_fixed.svg" title="Position fix required (e.g. GPS)" width="30px" />

The _Hold_ flight mode causes the vehicle to stop and hover at its current GPS position and altitude.

:::tip
_Hold mode_ can be used to pause a mission or to help you regain control of a vehicle in an emergency.
It is usually activated with a pre-programmed switch.
:::

::: info

- Mode is automatic - no user intervention is _required_ to control the vehicle.
- Mode requires a global 3d position estimate (from GPS or inferred from a [local position](../ros/external_position_estimation.md#enabling-auto-modes-with-a-local-position)).
  - Flying vehicles can't switch to this mode without global position.
  - Flying vehicles will failsafe if they lose the position estimate.
  - Disarmed vehicles can switch to mode without valid position estimate but can't arm.
- Mode requires wind and flight time are within allowed limits (specified via parameters).
- RC 제어 스위치는 기체의 비행 모드를 변경할 수 있습니다.
- RC stick movement will [by default](#COM_RC_OVERRIDE) change the vehicle to [Position mode](../flight_modes_mc/position.md) unless handling a critical battery failsafe.

## Technical Summary

The vehicle hovers at the current position and altitude.
The vehicle will first ascend to [NAV_MIN_LTR_ALT](#NAV_MIN_LTR_ALT) if the mode is engaged below this altitude.

RC stick movement will change the vehicle to [Position mode](../flight_modes_mc/position.md) (by [default](#COM_RC_OVERRIDE)).
