+# Flight Guidance in the A320
+
+The flight management and guidance system (FMGS) performs navigation functions and lateral and vertical flight planning functions. It also computes performance parameters and guides the aircraft along a pre-planned route.
+
+It generates and sends commands to the FADECs, autothrust system, autopilot, and flight director to control aircraft roll, pitch, speed, and thrust. This gives three-dimensional flight management with fully automatic, optimized flight performance and guidance.
+
+## Lateral Guidance
+
+The primary flight plan is used for lateral guidance and automatically sequences route legs. The current aircraft position is used to determine the required steering commands (AP and FD) to achieve the desired flight plan path.
+
+## Vertical Guidance
+
+Vertical guidance is available for TAKEOFF, CLIMB, CRUISE, DESCENT, and APPROACH phases of the flight plan. The flight planning capability lets the pilot enter published departure, arrival, and approach segments with individual pseudo waypoints that include speed/altitude constraints. These constraints, as well as the entered cruise altitude and cost index,
+define the vertical profile.
+
+## Autopilot and Flight Director Modes
+
+Two types of autopilot and flight director modes are available to guide the aircraft:
+
+### Managed modes
+
+When the aircraft is using managed targets, the Flight Management and Guidance System (FMGS) guides it along lateral and vertical flight paths and speed profiles computed by the Flight Management function (FM) from data in the MCDU. FM manages the guidance targets.
+
+Managed Modes are activated when the corresponding knob on the FCU is pushed in provided that the aircraft meets the necessary engagement conditions. E.g. Managed Heading (NAV) requires a valid flight plan defined in the MCDU.
+
+### Selected modes
+
+When the flight crew is using selected targets, the FMGS guides the aircraft along lateral and vertical flight paths and speed profiles to meet targets that the flight crew has selected manually on the FCU. The flight crew selects the guidance targets.
+
+Selected Modes are activated by pulling the corresponding knob in the FCU.
+
+### Pulling and Pushing Knobs in Microsoft Flight Simulator
+
+Using the legacy [Cockpit Interaction System](../../../fbw-a32nx/support/reported-issues.md#cockpit-interaction-system) you can push and pull knobs on the FCU like this:
+
+![Pulling-knob](../../../fbw-a32nx/assets/flypad/Pulling-knob.png){loading=lazy width=30%}
+
+## Available Guidance Modes
+
+The following guidancve modes are available and displayed in the PFD's FMA as either active or armed. See our [PFD FMA](../../a32nx-briefing//pfd/fma.md) documentation.

+# Flight Phases
+
+The A320 flight management system defines a set of flight phases each flight will sequence through.
+
+It is important to understand these flight phases as they have an impact on planning a flight as well as on the lateral and vertical guidance of the aircraft.
+
+![FLight Phases](../../fbw-a32nx/assets/flypad/flight-phases.png "FLight Phases")
+
+The most prominent place where these phases become visible are the MCDU PERF pages where all phases, apart from PREFLIGHT and DONE, have their own page.
+
+## PREFLIGHT Phase
+
+During the PREFLIGHT phase the pilot initializes the Flight Management Guidance Computer (FMGC) and sets up various systems in the aircraft.
+
+Flight planning and performance planning happen during this phase.
+
+## TAKEOFF Phase
+
+The TAKEOFF phase starts when applying take off thrust (FLX or TOGA) and extends until reaching the acceleration altitude.
+
+Autopilot can be engaged at 50ft above ground or 5 seconds ofter takeoff, whichever is later.
+
+At thrust reduction altitude the thrust levers are normally set in the climb thurst detent (CL detent). The FMGC is in managed mode at this point guiding the aircraft vertically and laterally along the flight plan.
+
+## CLIMB Phase
+
+The CLIMB phase extends from the acceleration altitude to the top of climb (ToC) cruise flight level (displayed and modifiable on the MCDU PROG page).
+
+The FMS guides the aircraft and commands acceleration when above the terminal area speed restriction altitude.
+
+The system observes speed/altitude constraints that have been entered in the flight plan.
+
+When all managed modes have been selected and confirmed, the FMS gives speed, altitude, and lateral guidance during climb.
+
+## CRUISE Phase
+
+The CRUISE phase extends from the top of climb (ToC) point to
+the top of descent (ToD) point.
+
+It may also includes intermediate climbs as well as en route descents. At anytime, the pilot can define a step climb to determine the cost and time savings of flying at a different flight level. Step climbs and descents are entered on the MCDU STEP ALTS page which is accessed from a VERT REV page or from the MCDU F-PLN page A.
+
+The FMS transitions to the descent phase when a subsequent descent is initiated within 200 NM of the destination and no preplanned step descent exists in front of the aircraft.
+
+## DESCENT Phase
+
+The DESCENT phase starts at the top--of--descent point (which is less than 200 NM from destination) by pushing the ALT knob for a managed descent or pulling the ALT knob for an open or selected descent from the cruise altitude.
+
+The pilot is required to confirm and initiate all descents from cruise altitude by pushing or pulling the ALT knob on the FCU. The managed descent does not occur until the pilot initiates the descent following clearance from ATC.
+
+## APPROACH Phase
+
+The APPROACH phase starts when the pilot activates and confirms the approach on the PERF descent page, or when the approach deceleration pseudo waypoint (DECEL) is passed and the aircraft is below 9500 ft AGL in managed flight.
+
+## GO-AROUND Phase
+
+The GO-AROUND phase is activated when the thrust levers are moved to the TOGA position while in the APPROACH phase. The FMS then guides the aircraft through the missed approach procedure.
+
+To return to the APPROACH flight phase, activate and confirm the APPROACH phase on the PERF GO-AROUND page.
+
+## DONE Phase
+
+The DONE phase is activated after the aircraft has been on the ground for at least 30 seconds and all engines are shut down.
+
+During the done phase, the FMS clears the active flight plan in
+preparation for reinitialization.
