Hello @JuSevRo and thanks for yours too;  
I’m sorry I got unfamiliar with ROS2;  
However, I fixed my bug of enabling to enter offboard mode due to activating failsafe mode;  
the reason is I did not set Virtual JoyStick in QGroundControl, that caused failsafe mode;  
After opening joystick, I can run that program;  
Would this be useful to you? and my discuss link here [Failsafe mode keeps activating and deactivating](https://discuss.px4.io/t/failsafe-mode-keeps-activating-and-deactivating/25778)  
Maybe you got other reason that activated failsafe mode…
