GUIDANCE MODES<br />
GENERAL<br />
Two types of autopilot and flight director modes are available in order to guide the aircraft:<br />
‐ Managed modes: when the aircraft is using managed targets, the Flight Management Guidance<br />
and Envelope System (FMGES) guides it along lateral and vertical flight paths and speed profiles<br />
computed by the Flight Management function (FM) from data in the MCDU. FM manages the<br />
guidance targets.<br />
‐ Selected modes: when the flight crew is using selected targets, the FMGES guides the aircraft<br />
along lateral and vertical flight paths and speed profiles to meet targets that the flight crew has<br />
selected manually on the FCU. The flight crew selects the guidance targets.<br />
