Different vertical speeds for ascent and descent in the same mission?

Hi everyone,
I’m using Mission Planner to create an autonomous mission and I was wondering if it’s possible to define multiple different vertical (climb/descent) speeds within the same mission.

For example, I’d like to have three different ascent speeds and three different descent speeds applied at different waypoints or mission segments.

Is there a way to achieve this purely within Mission Planner — for example, by using mission commands or parameters — without resorting to external scripting (e.g. Python or Lua scripts)?

Thanks in advance for any insights or suggestions!

use DO_CHANGE_SPEED command.

Just to elaborate on what @LupusTheCanine posted. Note the “type” field:

speed

Suggest using the Simulator 1st to test out these change speed commands to make sure it’s doing what you want.
