Title: Fixed Wing Tuning Flightplan Draft - Don't pull yet, again

I have drafted a flight plan to aid in tuning fixed wing aircraft. I have included a considerable explanation for the flightplan as well on how to use it. I would really appreciate some feedback on it, what should be changed, what is totally wrong, how to make it more understandable, etc. I haven't fully tried it out on a real aircraft yet due to some datalink issues, only in simulation with JSBSim. The explanation will be added to the wiki after comments/discussion.

While tuning for a funjet or similar is relatively easy because of existing gains that are close to what they should be, I think that a better process can be useful, especially for dissimilar aircraft. We are tuning a Senior Telemaster at the moment, and it has had some interesting and unstable behaviour using "default" gains gleaned from a number of airframe example files.

Even though I don't want it pulled yet so I can edit it based on comments, I thought this (github) would be a good way for others to look at it and make comments.

As I have never actually fully tuned a pprz aircraft before, insight from others would be nice!

Thanks.
