### Solved Problem When I issued a DO_CHANGE_SPEED, and then changed flight modes, that speed continued over to the new flight mode. For example, if I issue a DO_CHANGE_SPEED in mission mode for 1 m/s, and then switch to Loiter mode, I am still restricted to 1 m/s. From the conversations that I have had with maintainers, this is not the behavior we want to have The only flight mode that this **does not** happen for is RTL, which has the following line `_navigator->reset_cruising_speed();` ### Solution I reset the cruising speed upon entering a new navigation mode. ### Alternatives We could also create a new module that keeps track of what mode we are in and changes speed limits from there ### Test coverage - Create a waypoint mission with a change speed waypoint item at 1 m/s. Mid-mission flip to HOLD mode and issue a do_relocate.
