FLIGHT DISPATCH COURSE

Safety evaluation
The primary task of an aircraft dispatcher is ensuring that a flight safely reaches its destination. Air- craft dispatchers assess every variable that can affect the safety of a flight, which could vary from plane to plane based on the route, aircraft, and other factors.
Crew review
As part of a dispatcher’s role in ensuring the safety of the flight, he or she will likely review the individuals aboard the flight, including attendants and pilots. Dispatchers are required to make sure that each member of the crew has the required qualifications. Additionally, a dispatcher may check to see if the crew has had enough rest between flights to ensure that crew members and pilots are alert and attentive.
Maximizing efficiency
Another key part of this position’s responsibilities is to get the plane from its departure site to its arrival site as efficiently as possible. This means making sure that the flight route is as efficient as possible while maintaining safety and avoiding other aircraft routes
In-flight monitoring
Flight dispatchers, like pilots, are responsible for evaluating and re-evaluating the weather, route, and other factors during the flight. In addition to a dispatcher’s responsibilities prior to takeoff, dispatchers will also make sure that the flight runs smoothly by keeping an eye on any approaching storms or other circumstances that could compromise the safety or efficiency of the plane.
