/*
 * Init and run calls for auto flight mode
 *
 * This file contains the implementation for Land, Waypoint navigation and Takeoff from Auto mode
 * Command execution code (i.e. command_logic.pde) should:
 *      a) switch to Auto flight mode with set_mode() function.  This will cause auto_init to be called
 *      b) call one of the three auto initialisation functions: auto_wp_start(), auto_takeoff_start(), auto_land_start()
 *      c) call one of the verify functions auto_wp_verify(), auto_takeoff_verify, auto_land_verify repeated to check if the command has completed
 * The main loop (i.e. fast loop) will call update_flight_modes() which will in turn call auto_run() which, based upon the auto_mode variable will call
 *      correct auto_wp_run, auto_takeoff_run or auto_land_run to actually implement the feature
 */

/*
 *  While in the auto flight mode, navigation or do/now commands can be run.
 *  Code in this file implements the navigation commands
