The ground station is heard again

InformationFailsafes and emergencies in flight

What ArduPilot says:

Heartbeats from the ground station are arriving again (the last one less than FS_GCS_TIMEOUT seconds ago). ArduPilot does nothing more: the copter stays in the mode the failsafe chose until you change it from the transmitter or the ground station.
