| - | + | * The PID and EKF is saved using the "attitude" bit in the logging parameter setting (see [[https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/6af0f460afa6f51c41056cd25fe2c70164d9d460/ArduPlane/Log.cpp#L39|Code]]). For the attitude two settings are available: Fast (50Hz), Medium(10Hz) according to [[https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot_wiki/blob/6c81c28126e6cb2bdbb9cb58291342ca3ade96a0/dev/source/docs/using-the-command-line-interpreter-to-configure-apmcopter.rst#reading-logs-through-the-cli|LINK]]. I think 10Hz could be enough for us. __**But in the Code actually the Logging is done with 25Hz**__ (see [[https://github.com/ArduPilot/ardupilot/blob/d8d3494b170d50f7b45dced928cd5d9150b50d2f/ArduPlane/ArduPlane.cpp#L87|Code]]) | |

| - | + | * TECS (Total Energy Control System) controls altitude vs speed and is important and **should be enabled**. | |
| + | * CTUN Logs contain baro and ** should be enabled.** | ||
| + | * NTUN Logs navigation tuning info at 10 Hz and ** should be enabled.** | ||
| + | This results in the following Table (according to [[https://ardupilot.org/plane/docs/parameters.html#log-bitmask-log-bitmask|Log Bitmask Description]]): | ||
