Unable to parse landing item in QGC plan.

[theloni-monk]

Hi, I am trying to upload a mission to an sitl instance of the px4 flight simulator so i started by trying to run the mission_import.py example. The example plan provided in the examples directory worked, but was rejected by the simulator with the phrase WARN [navigator] Mission rejected: landing pattern required. I added the following landing item to the end of the mission items in the .plan file:

{
                "altitudesAreRelative": true,
                "complexItemType": "fwLandingPattern",
                "landCoordinate": [
                    47.397741626132294,
                    8.564924213007533,
                    0
                ],
                "landingApproachCoordinate": [
                    47.397741626132294,
                    8.554924213007533,
                    10
                ],
                "loiterClockwise": true,
                "loiterRadius": 75,
                "stopTakingPhotos": true,
                "stopVideoPhotos": true,
                "type": "ComplexItem",
                "valueSetIsDistance": false,
                "version": 1
            }

But I was then met with the error from MAVSDK-Python,

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "upload_plan.py", line 26, in <module>
    loop.run_until_complete(run())
  File "/usr/lib/python3.6/asyncio/base_events.py", line 484, in run_until_complete

mavsdk.mission_raw.MissionRawError: FAILED_TO_PARSE_QGC_PLAN: 'Failed To Parse Qgc Plan'; origin: import_qgroundcontrol_mission(); params: ('fp_export.plan',)

I also have a personal plan I'd like to upload which has the same behavior of only working on the mavsdk python side when its landing item is removed, but being rejected for lack thereof.

So the way I understand it is that QGC added this "complexItemType": "fwLandingPattern", and we now need to add support for it in MAVSDK, correct? This is not really a MAVLink standard thing but just an extension/feature that QGC added.

Contributions to support it here are welcome: https://github.com/mavlink/MAVSDK/blob/425577aa5629d591a854a65fd1f2dd6d88b526d9/src/mavsdk/plugins/mission_raw/mission_import.cpp#L172-L219

@julianoes Is there any solutions for mavSDK Python package?
