??? tip "Manual descent rate selection"
For descending, we set the new flight level or altitude in the `FCU` with the `altitude selector`. We can then either PUSH the selector for `Managed Altitude Mode` (constraints are respected, also known as [DES](../a32nx-advanced-guides/flight-guidance/vertical-guidance/managed-modes.md#des-descent)) or PULL the selector for `Selected Altitude Mode` (constraints are ignored, also known as [OP DES](../a32nx-advanced-guides/flight-guidance/vertical-guidance/selected-modes.md#op-des-open-descent)).

As we reach the 10,000 foot mark in our descent, we have to take a few more steps to prepare the aircraft to land. We make sure the seatbelt sign is on so passengers are secure and not moving around during descent. We also make sure the landing lights are on so we are visible to other aircraft on approach. The `LS` buttons are turned on so we have the landing system active for when we intercept the ILS.
