## Parachute Health Failsafe
<Badge type="tip" text="PX4 v1.18" />
The parachute health failsafe is triggered when a [MAVLink parachute](../peripherals/parachute.md) system is missing or unhealthy while the vehicle is armed and airborne.
| Parameter | Description |
| -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| <a id="COM_PARACHUTE"></a>[COM_PARACHUTE](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#COM_PARACHUTE) | Parachute system monitoring and failsafe action. `0`: Disabled (default), `1`: Warning only, `2`: Error only, `3`: Return, `4`: Land. |
Values `2``4` prevent arming when the parachute system is not present and healthy.
Values `3``4` also trigger the configured failsafe action if the parachute system is missing or unhealthy while airborne.
## Quad-chute Failsafe
Failsafe for when a VTOL vehicle can no longer fly in fixed-wing mode, perhaps due to the failure of a pusher motor, airspeed sensor, or control surface.
