GUIDANCE<br />

When OPEN DES is engaged, pitch control maintains the target speed/Mach number, and autothrust<br />

maintains idle thrust (or the flight crew maintains it manually). The speed target may be either<br />

selected or managed.<br />

The OPEN DES mode disregards all altitude constraints.<br />
