some help on how to use the airbus's

Which version of the Airbus you using?
Who makes it?

On the Airbus autopilot you push the rotary knobs in order to engage the fmc control the lateral and vertical movement of the plane. In
other words pushing the rotary knob for altitude selection will engage fmc controled climb (similar or equal to Boeing VNAV mode) and
pushing the rotary knob for heading selection will engage fmc controled lateral movement of the plane (similar or equal to Boeing LNAV
mode)
On PSS Airbuses you left click to push the knobs to engage auto mode and right click to pull the knobs for manual mode

Hope that helps a little
