// @Param: CLMB_MAX
// @DisplayName: Maximum Climb Rate (metres/sec)
// @Description: This is the best climb rate that the aircraft can achieve with the throttle set to THR_MAX and the airspeed set to the default value. For electric aircraft make sure this number can be achieved towards the end of flight when the battery voltage has reduced. The setting of this parameter can be checked by commanding a positive altitude change of 100m in loiter, RTL or guided mode. If the throttle required to climb is close to THR_MAX and the aircraft is maintaining airspeed, then this parameter is set correctly. If the airspeed starts to reduce, then the parameter is set to high, and if the throttle demand require to climb and maintain speed is noticeably less than THR_MAX, then either CLMB_MAX should be increased or THR_MAX reduced.

Ideally this should be set to approximately 10 x the extra sink rate in m/s created by a 45 degree bank turn.

A value closer to 2 will result in the plane ignoring height error during landing and our experience has been that the plane will therefore keep the nose up -- sometimes good for a glider landing (with the side effect that you will likely glide a ways past the landing point).

/*
* Written by Paul Riseborough 2013 to provide:
* - Combined control of speed and height using throttle to control
* total energy and pitch angle to control exchange of energy between
* potential and kinetic.
* Selectable speed or height priority modes when calculating pitch angle
* - Fallback mode when no airspeed measurement is available that
* sets throttle based on height rate demand and switches pitch angle control to
* height priority
* - Underspeed protection that demands maximum throttle and switches pitch angle control
* to speed priority mode
* - Relative ease of tuning through use of intuitive time constant, integrator and damping gains and the use
* of easy to measure aircraft performance data
