<short_desc>Throttle time constant factor for landing</short_desc>
<long_desc>Set this parameter to less than 1.0 to make the TECS throttle loop react faster during landing than during normal flight (i.e. giving efficiency and low motor wear at high altitudes but control accuracy during landing). During landing, the TECS throttle time constant (FW_T_THRO_CONST) is multiplied by this value.</long_desc>

<long_desc>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 required to climb and maintain speed is noticeably less than FW_THR_MAX, then either FW_T_CLMB_MAX should be increased or FW_THR_MAX reduced.</long_desc>

<long_desc>This is the damping gain for the pitch demand loop. Increase to add damping to correct for oscillations in height. The default value of 0.0 will work well provided the pitch to servo controller has been tuned properly.</long_desc>

<long_desc>This is the maximum vertical acceleration (in m/s/s) either up or down that the controller will use to correct speed or height errors. The default value of 7 m/s/s (equivalent to +- 0.7 g) allows for reasonably aggressive pitch changes if required to recover from under-speed conditions.</long_desc>
