+# Airbus Flight Phases
+
+Current Airbus flight management systems (FMS) define 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](assets/flight-phases/flight-phases.png "Flight Phases")
+
+The most prominent place, where these phases become visible are the FMS 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 100 ft above ground or 5 seconds after takeoff, whichever is later.
+
+At thrust reduction altitude, the thrust levers are normally set in the climb thrust 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 FMS 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 include 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
+FMS STEP ALTS page, which is accessed from a waypoint in the FMS F-PLN page.
+
+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 the destination) by pushing the
+ALT knob for a managed descent or pulling the ALT knob for an open (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 or all engines are shut
+down.
+
+During the done phase, the FMS clears the active flight plan in preparation for reinitialization.
