Solved Problem
When several height sensors are failing at the same time, the EKF resets to the first available measurement. If the height is reset to a secondary height source, this leads to a bias buildup of the height reference.
Solution
Only allow the primary height source to perform a height reset. A secondary height source can only stop and restart (and automatically adjust its own bias to match the current height estimate).
