Flight Watch
Main in-flight page. Shows what AALD is watching, what message is next, and why something did or did not send.
Flight Watch Status
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
Dispatch Center
Save Hoppie once in Setup. Callsign comes from SimBrief. Flight watch sends TELEX without tapping.
