Poor ALT Hold behavior in arduipilot3.4.6

ArduCopter Copter 3.4

Recently, I was tuning the altitude in 3.4.6.

The drones rise quikly, but before it reaches the desired value, it goes down and hit the ground. After a second, it goes up without reaching DSAlt, then goes down again, back and forth.

I looked into the Ardupilot about ALT mode, then I found that the control loop only using IMU as a altitude estimation. I wanna know wether the control loop is updated in 3.4.6 or not.

I read the source code of control loop in ardupilot/libraries/AC_AttitudeControl/AC_PosControl.cpp, and it is controlled only by INAV, that’s why we have a poor performance in ALT mode.
