Flight Setup
Start here. Load SimBrief and close the flight when complete.
Load OFP from saved SimBrief settings.
ACARS is green when OFP is loaded and automation is active.
Flight Watch
Main in-flight page. Shows what AALD is watching, what message is next, and why something did or did not send.
Fast readout for what AALD thinks is happening and what to check when something does not send.
Pilot flow: load OFP → confirm Hoppie/VATSIM → let Flight Watch work → use Status only when something breaks.
Automation explanation
Live app log
Save Hoppie once in Setup. Callsign comes from SimBrief. Flight watch sends TELEX without tapping.
