This defines the latency between a step input and the achieved setpoint

Increasing this gain increases the speed at which speed

0.1
Maximum vertical acceleration
This is the maximum vertical acceleration (in metres/second square)
either up or down that the controller will use to correct speed
or height errors. The default value of 7 m/s/s (equivalent to +- 0.7 g)
allows for reasonably aggressive pitch changes if required to recover
from under-speed conditions.
7.0
Complementary filter "omega" parameter for height
This is the cross-over frequency (in radians/second) of the complementary
filter used to fuse vertical acceleration and barometric height to obtain
an estimate of height rate and height. Increasing this frequency weights
the solution more towards use of the barometer, whilst reducing it weights
the solution more towards use of the accelerometer data.
3.0
Complementary filter "omega" parameter for speed
This is the cross-over frequency (in radians/second) of the complementary
filter used to fuse longitudinal acceleration and airspeed to obtain an
improved airspeed estimate. Increasing this frequency weights the solution
more towards use of the arispeed sensor, whilst reducing it weights the
solution more towards use of the accelerometer data.
2.0
Roll -> Throttle feedforward
Increasing this gain turn increases the amount of throttle that will
be used to compensate for the additional drag created by turning.
Ideally this should be set to approximately 10 x the extra sink rate
in m/s created by a 45 degree bank turn. Increase this gain if
the aircraft initially loses energy in turns and reduce if the
aircraft initially gains energy in turns. Efficient high aspect-ratio
aircraft (eg powered sailplanes) can use a lower value, whereas
inefficient low aspect-ratio models (eg delta wings) can use a higher value.
10.0
Speed <--> Altitude priority
This parameter adjusts the amount of weighting that the pitch control
applies to speed vs height errors. Setting it to 0.0 will cause the
pitch control to control height and ignore speed errors. This will
normally improve height accuracy but give larger airspeed errors.
Setting it to 2.0 will cause the pitch control loop to control speed
and ignore height errors. This will normally reduce airspeed errors,
but give larger height errors. The default value of 1.0 allows the pitch
control to simultaneously control height and speed.
Note to Glider Pilots - set this parameter to 2.0 (The glider will
adjust its pitch angle to maintain airspeed, ignoring changes in height).
1.0
Pitch damping factor
This is the damping gain for the pitch demand loop. Increase to add

For electric aircraft this will normally be set to zero, but can be set

some aerodynamic drag from a turning prop to improve the descent rate.
For aircraft with internal combustion engine this parameter should be set

Climbout Altitude difference
If the altitude error exceeds this parameter, the system will climb out

distance to the desired altitude. Mostly used for takeoff waypoints / modes.
Set to zero to disable climbout mode (not recommended).
25.0
Maximum climb rate
This is the best climb rate that the aircraft can achieve with
the throttle set to THR_MAX and the airspeed set to the
default value. For electric aircraft make sure this number can be
achieved towards the end of flight when the battery voltage has reduced.
The setting of this parameter can be checked by commanding a positive
altitude change of 100m in loiter, RTL or guided mode. If the throttle
required to climb is close to THR_MAX and the aircraft is maintaining
airspeed, then this parameter is set correctly. If the airspeed starts
to reduce, then the parameter is set to high, and if the throttle
demand required to climb and maintain speed is noticeably less than
FW_THR_MAX, then either FW_T_CLMB_MAX should be increased or
FW_THR_MAX reduced.
