## Mission Feasibility Checks
-PX4 runs some basic sanity checks to determine if a mission is feasible when it is uploaded, and when the vehicle is first armed.
+PX4 runs some basic sanity checks to determine if a mission is feasible when it is uploaded and before executing a mission.
If any of the checks fail, the user is notified and it is not possible to start the mission.
A subset of the most important checks are listed below:
-- First mission item too far away from vehicle ([MIS_DIST_1WP](#MIS_DIST_1WP))
- Any mission item conflicts with a plan or safety geofence
- More than one land start mission item defined ([MAV_CMD_DO_LAND_START](https://mavlink.io/en/messages/common.html#MAV_CMD_DO_LAND_START))
- A fixed-wing landing has an infeasible slope angle ([FW_LND_ANG](#FW_LND_ANG))
- Land start item (`MAV_CMD_DO_LAND_START`) appears in mission before an RTL item ([MAV_CMD_NAV_RETURN_TO_LAUNCH](https://mavlink.io/en/messages/common.html#MAV_CMD_NAV_RETURN_TO_LAUNCH))
- Missing takeoff and/or land item when these are configured as a requirement ([MIS_TKO_LAND_REQ](#MIS_TKO_LAND_REQ))
+Additionally there is a check if the first waypoint is too far from the Home position ([MIS_DIST_1WP](#MIS_DIST_1WP)).
+The user is notified should the check fail, but it has no effect on the validity of a mission plan (the mission can still be started even if the distance is too great).

_QGroundControl_ provides additional GCS-level mission handling support (in addition to that provided by the flight controller).

- PX4 parses the above messages, but they are not necessary _acted_ on. For example, some messages are vehicle-type specific.
- PX4 does not support local frames for mission commands (e.g. [MAV_FRAME_LOCAL_NED](https://mavlink.io/en/messages/common.html#MAV_FRAME_LOCAL_NED)).
- Not all messages/commands are exposed via _QGroundControl_.
