Research direction

No source file or test is named. Reproduce the VTOL_takeoff mission-plan behavior in SITL, then trace how Mission Planner applies the selected altitude reference and compare the generated command with the planning settings; done means the command honors the configured reference on Plane Quadplane missions.
