The RTL mode in the dataflash log is gone…
The dataflash used to report RTL, but now it only reports a switch to "guided"
is this on purpose? I kinda liked it when it showed RTL.
See screenshot below. I turned off my TX to test RTL function. i.imgur.com/xf0pWEe.jpg
(btw this forum is a PITA when it comes to handling images)

Can you post the tlog for that flight?
The code shouldn’t enter GUIDED except in three possible circumstances:
[ul]your GCS sends a command to enter GUIDED mode
you have a geofence breach
you have GUIDED setup as a flight mode and switch to it using the transmitter
[/ul]
From your tlog I should be able to work out what happened.

Here is the dataflash LOG
I don’t have TLOGS because I don’t have long range telemetry. (only bluetooth)
I just realised I did not upgrade to 2,78, I’m running 2,77 I don’t know if that makes a difference?
In the log you can clearly see the failsafe message switches to ON, but the mode gets switched to GUIDED.
I did not configure my mode switch to go to guided at any position, and there is no GCS failsafe enabled.
I did configure geofencing, but I was within the fence and my TX switch wasn’t flipped. Plus the plane went to home, and not the geofence return point I had configured. strange…
Other than that minor cosmetic issue in the log, the APM and failsafe are functioning outstanding!!
Oh forgot to mention: in the same log I did an auto mission of 4 waypoints and it also registred as guided…
The log itself is a mess. After I land, (in FBWA) I pick it up, still armed and I walk the plane to my car to disconnect. But after the landing the log suddenly shows a jump up in altitude from 0 to 100 meters…
the mode gets switched to guided and loiter again… strange. it’s like a piece of the log from the middle is put at the end?
I remember my previous flight showed something similar. I did a complete erase of the dataflash and didn’t pay attention to it anymore…
the OSD did show the modes and everything else correct during the flight.
It looks like it is a MissionPlanner bug with downloading log files. If you look in the log you see this:
MODE, 195858, Guided, 11
mode 11 is RTL, not Guided. I think the “Guided” string is being added by MissionPlanner in the download.
I’ve asked Michael Oborne about it.

I can confirm it is a mission planner bug.
When I download the same log over CLI everything is correct. The modes are showing the correct values and no more strange jump in altitude.
I attached the same log but downloaded over CLI instead of MAVlink.
