ACARS Console
The CONSOLE is where AeroFeed handles communications and operational messages.
Think of it as your “ACARS printer + message log + ops desk” in one screen.
💬 Message log (incoming + outgoing)
The Console keeps a single message timeline:
- INCOMING messages (OPS replies, ATIS/WX responses, automation)
- OUTGOING messages (your sent TELEX/CPDLC requests)
🔔 Incoming chime
When a new INCOMING message arrives, AeroFeed plays a chime so you don’t miss it.
🖨️ Auto-print incoming (optional)
If auto-print is enabled, AeroFeed will automatically print new INCOMING messages.
Typical use:
- keep a paper trail of clearances and ops messages
- print ATIS/WX replies without manual interaction
⚡ Quick actions
Send TELEX
Send a free-text message to an OPS/ATC station (via Hoppie).
When to use it
- requests, coordination, free-text communication
Request WX (METAR / TAF)
Request weather for an airport and receive the reply as an INCOMING message.
Best practice
- request destination WX early enroute
- request departure WX during preflight
Request ATIS
Request airport ATIS and receive it as an INCOMING message.
Tip:
- you can request Departure or Arrival ATIS when available
ADC Delay
Send a delay report using standard delay codes.
Diversion
Send a diversion request (alternate ICAO + ETA + reason).
🧾 Reprint
Any message in the log can be reprinted.
This is useful if:
