MANAGES MODE VERSUS SELECTED MODE
In Managed modes the Flight Management Guidance Computer sends information to the Autopilot systems so
that it follows the programmed route. This route can include headings, altitudes and even speeds. The pilot
selects this mode by pushing (left click) the appropriate selector knob on the Flight Control Unit (FCU).
In Selected modes the pilot inserts the information and the aircraft will follow his manual input. The pilot selects
this mode by pulling (right click) the appropriate selector knob on the Flight Control Unit and turning it the
required setting.
