4141### Flight Maneuvers
4242
43- Using default PX4 gains. Perform these maneuvers separately for each axis: roll, pitch, and yaw .
43+ Ensure your vehicle passes the pre-tuning test as outlined [ here ] ( https://docs.px4.io/main/en/config/autotune_fw.html#pre-tuning-test ) .

45- 1 . Requires valid airspeed measurement, and a correctly set FW_AIRSPD_TRIM.
46- 2 . Fly in stabilized mode and start from level flight.
47- 3 . Apply a manual sine chirp input (sine wave with increasing frequency) on the selected axis. Avoid any other control inputs simultaneously.
48- 4 . For pitch and yaw: The amplitude of the input should not be too high, but should be enough to overcome noise.
49- 5 . Repeat the maneuver a few times if necessary to capture good data.
45+ #### Use automated maneuvers (Recommended)
46+
47+ 1 . Configure your setup to use the PX4 autotune maneuvers without applying the identified gains online:
48+
49+ ```
50+ FW_AT_APPLY = Do not apply the new gains (logging only)
51+ FW_AT_AXES = 7 # Enables maneuvers on all three axes (adjust as needed)
52+ FW_AT_SYSID_F1 = 10
53+ FW_AT_SYSID_TYPE = Logarithmic sine sweep
54+ ```
55+
56+ 2 . Enable an [ autotune switch] ( https://docs.px4.io/main/en/config/autotune_fw.html#enable-disable-autotune-switch ) on your RC transmitter.
57+ 3 . Follow the procedure described [ here] ( https://docs.px4.io/main/en/config/autotune_fw.html#auto-tuning-procedure ) to perform the maneuvers.
58+ Since FW_AT_APPLY is set to logging only, step 5 of the procedure (applying new gains and testing) will not be executed.
59+
60+ #### Perform manual maneuvers
61+
62+ Perform these maneuvers separately for each axis: roll, pitch, and yaw.
63+
64+ 1 . Fly in stabilized mode and start from level flight.
65+ 2 . Apply a manual sine chirp input (sine wave with increasing frequency) on the selected axis. Avoid any other control inputs simultaneously.
66+ 3 . For pitch and yaw: The amplitude of the input should not be too high, but should be enough to overcome noise.
67+ 4 . Repeat the maneuver a few times if necessary to capture good data.
