indicating that the AUTOPILOT is now following the mission in AUTO flight mode and will
navigate to the first waypoint.
Note that since the AUTOPILOT does not have control of the throttle, if you have defined
waypoints at different altitudes, you will need to manually control power as appropriate to
assist the AUTOPILOT in making altitude changes.

If modifying a mission in flight, it is recommended to drop out of NAV mode, back to manual
mode, before re-uploading, and initializing the modified mission, otherwise QGroundControl
may enter you into a loiter circle while the mission is being modified.
