What an ArduPilot message means and what to do about it

Українська

A switch changed reverse thrust, crow flaps or terrain following

InformationPlane: take-off, landing, QuadPlanePlane only

What ArduPilot says:

A switch on the transmitter changed a Plane option. “RevThrottle: ENABLE” or “DISABLE” (RCn_OPTION 64): the throttle stick now commands reverse thrust, or forward again. The three crow lines (RCn_OPTION 87) choose how the ailerons and flaps work together as air brakes on a glider: off, normal, or progressive with the flap stick. “NON AUTO TERRN: ON” or “OFF” (RCn_OPTION 86): terrain following in FBWB and CRUISE is on, or switched off so that the plane holds its height above home instead.
