Auto & Loiter Mode always Losing Altitude - Log Attached

ArduPlane Plane 3.4
1

Hi All ,

Hardware:

  •      Flight controller : PIXHACK

  •      GPS Ublox

  •      MiniOSD

Software:

  •      GCS : Mission Planner.

  •      Firmware : Arduplane 3.4

Problem:

the plane is very stable and work well in manual and stab modes , even when I off the motor during the flight its very stable and decent with glide ,

But when try loiter mode , and Auto mode , It works good and direct to WP or start loiter ,

previous tests the throttle cut , now the throttle is off and start many time and the plane loss the altitude while trying go to waypoint , until it become near to ground I change to stab and control it to gain altitude and try again always decent ,

I am not using airspeed and my cruise throttle in set to 50% ,

What’s the algorithm that control the altitude (GPS , Baro , TECS ) ?

which parameter I should change to keep altitude ?

how dose TECS control altitude ?

here is the Log file , in .Bin format Log File

Hope I can solve this problem I want to enjoy the auto modes :frowning:
