Takeoff in PositionHold?

Hi All
I want to know is it possible to takeoff in PositionHold mode.??

Yes, this requires a few things to be working before that will work. Compass needs a good position fix or it will refuse to arm. The flight controller needs to be flashing green.

Essentially the same requirements for taking off in Loiter mode, right?

Yup. You need 3D GPS lock, calibrated compass and the usual checks.
