Obstacle Avoidance in AltHold

Hello community members,

I understand that QuadPlane firmware is based on ArduPlane firmware, and that collision avoidance is available on ArduCopter. I can’t seem to find documentation if collision avoidance is available for QuadPlanes in AltHold mode.

Kindly advise and Happy New Year!!

Good day,
you can find info in this page
https://ardupilot.org/copter/docs/common-rangefinder-landingpage.html

Thanks for your response.

Still, I am not sure if the quadplane firmware has the collision avoidance feature ported over.
Not quite sure if horizontal range finding is available for quadplane. it was mentioned explicitly that collision avoidance was Available for copters, but no mentions for planes.

on planes you can use rangefinders as landing sensors. You must consider that planes work in a different way and also the altitude is different.
