			Paparazzi allows you to define three modes, '''MANUAL''', '''AUTO1''' and '''AUTO2''' , which are associated to a [[Rc_transmitter_and_receiver_setup#Flight_MODE_switch\|3-position switch of your remote]].

	~~This page describes~~ the three modes ~~paparazzi can operate~~ in.		== Mode mapping ==
	~~The current~~ mode ~~paparazzi operates in~~ can be changed ~~via~~ the [[GCS]].
			Because especially rotorcraft can be operated in [[Rotorcraft_Configuration#Autopilot_modes\|multiple modes]], you can define the mapping to these three easily switchable modes in your [[Rotorcraft_Configuration#XML_Parameters\|airframe file]]. Moreover, the mode associated to AUTO2 can be changed in the Settings tab of the [[GCS]].

			In the following text, the typical configuration is described, which is also why (legacy reasons) the three modes were named as they were named.

This page describes the three modes paparazzi can operate in.
The current mode paparazzi operates in can be changed via the [[GCS]].

== Manual ==

The '''MANUAL''' flight mode is for directly controling your airframe by your transmitter.

<span style="color:#FF0000">'''Caution!'''</span> Please note that any trims and deflections set in your airframe config file still apply.

When flying in Manual mode please consider the [[Failsafe#RC_link_failure_while_manual_or_AUTO1|failsafes]].

== Auto 1 ==

The '''AUTO1''' is for controller stabilized flight. Although autopilot will keep the airframe level and stabilized, you need to steer the airframe youself, ie. where you want it to go.

When flying in Auto 1 mode please consider the [[Failsafe#RC_link_failure_while_manual_or_AUTO1|failsafes]].

== Auto 2 ==

In '''AUTO2''' your aircraft is fully autonomous in stabilization and navigation.

You are not required to steer or stabilize the aircraft via your [[Radio_Control|radio]].

In this mode the aircraft follows the [[Flight_Plans|flightplan]] and commands issued via the [[GCS]].
