??? note "Cruise Phase"
The FMA now shows `ALT CRZ` in white in the second column of the FMA (Vertical Guidance). This means the aircraft is
in cruise mode and will maintain the selected altitude.

Verify that the aircraft is cruising on the cruise flight level inserted on the CRZ panel of the flight management
system of the active performance page. This will ensure that the aircraft flies at the targeted cruise speed so fuel
consumptions is optimized. This will also benefit to a soft autothrottle mode, as well have more accurate predictions.

This is usually the quietest time of the flight. It allows time to double-check the systems by going through all ECAM
pages, etc.
