Restarting a mission

WP1 sends the mission back to its first item. A plane also starts its mission again when you disarm it. In AUTO, it keeps its place, so that a mission can continue after a landing. In ArduPilot, MIS_RESTART and an RC switch with option 24 also restart the mission.

If the vehicle mission is not empty, press WP1. Item 1 is the current item, which is magenta on the map.
