	This says for the aircraft to go from "START" waypoint towards "ER" (end runway) waypoint with a ~~elevator~~ pitch of -10% (to keep the aircraft on the ground) and throttle at 100%. You would also add a deroute option to change to the "CLIMB" waypoint (the waypoint that gets the aircraft up to the correct height) once the aircraft was moving above stall speed. I will add the code for this soon.

	This code will work in theory, but may not in practice, especially if you only have a narrow runway or your aircraft takes a long time to get up to speed. This is because the autopilot is not exact in its estimation of where it is.
