No apology necessary!
1. Approach phase ?
2. MAN TOGA, (ALT HDG A/THR blue) ?
2 is correct - just the A/THR changes.

But..... FMGS flight phase will switch from APPROACH to GO-AROUND - see FCOM 4.02.20 p11 for "switching conditions to next phase" column.
So.. we have the AP/FD flying S&L but the FMGS in a go-around phase.

Conversely, in the "initial" part of the climb with FLAP lever still at 1 or more, selection of TOGA will put the AP/FD into SRS G/A TRK (a "common mode" i.e. both lateral and vertical modes - you always get both together) but the FMGS will remain in the CLIMB phase because the switching condition is "reaching cruise FL".

Simplze, no?

And flyer146 - back to ground school!
