The nav command list used for the distance estimate was missing NAV_VTOL_LAND, so a quadplane mission was not terminated at the landing. The walk continued into the diversion loiter points that follow it, took their DO_JUMP back into the middle of the mission and added most of the mission distance a second time. On a 70 item mission this pinned ETR at 75-92 minutes for the whole flight, still reading 83 minutes three minutes before touchdown.

Add the missing nav commands (LOITER_TO_ALT, SPLINE_WAYPOINT, VTOL_TAKEOFF, VTOL_LAND, PAYLOAD_PLACE) and stop at either landing command.
