"APM Copter" - "AutoTune" (automatic PID tuning, crosswind: 20 km/h)

AutoTune is a feature available in ArduCopter 3.1-rc5 (and later) versions. It attempts to tune the Stabilize P and Rate P and D terms that provide the highest response without significant overshoot. It does this by twitching the copter in the roll and pitch access which means that the copter needs to be basically flyable in AltHold mode before attempting to use AutoTune.
