# FixedWingLateralGuidanceStatus (UORB message)
Fixed Wing Lateral Guidance Status message. Published by fw_pos_control module to report the resultant lateral setpoints and NPFG debug outputs.
**TOPICS:** fixed_wing_lateral_guidance_status
## Fields
| Name | Type | Unit [Frame] | Range/Enum | Description |
| ----------------------- | --------- | ------------ | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| timestamp | `uint64` | | | time since system start (microseconds) |
| course_setpoint | `float32` | rad | [-pi : pi] | Desired direction of travel over ground w.r.t (true) North. Set by guidance law |
| lateral_acceleration_ff | `float32` | FRD | | lateral acceleration demand only for maintaining curvature |
| bearing_feas | `float32` | | [0 : 1] | bearing feasibility |
| bearing_feas_on_track | `float32` | | [0 : 1] | on-track bearing feasibility |
| signed_track_error | `float32` | m | | signed track error |
| track_error_bound | `float32` | m | | track error bound |
| adapted_period | `float32` | s | | adapted period (if auto-tuning enabled) |
| wind_est_valid | `uint8` | boolean | | true = wind estimate is valid and/or being used by controller (also indicates if wind estimate usage is disabled despite being valid) |
