Two types of autopilot and flight director modes are available to guide the aircraft:
Managed modes, which steer the aircraft along the lateral, vertical, and speed profiles according to the data the pilot inserts into the MCDU. Flight Management (in the Flight Management and Guidance Computer) computes the corresponding guidance targets.
Selected modes, which steer the aircraft according to target values that the pilot selects and the FCU windows display

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.
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
Can any one please explain the difference between the guidance modes. How are they different from the pilots perspective? Also if possible from the systems side.
