What is an Aircraft Dispatcher?
Aircraft Dispatchers play a vital role in ensuring that every flight reaches its destination safely. Aircraft Dispatchers usually work in the operations center of an airline. Pilots may fly the planes, but the dispatchers are the ones who prepare the flight plans and work with the pilots throughout their flights to accommodate changing conditions.
In order to be effective, Aircraft Dispatchers must be knowledgeable in many aspects of aviation, including meteorology, regulations, weight and balance, human factors, and more.
To become certified as an Aircraft Dispatcher, one must log the FAA-mandated minimum of 200 training hours, and pass a written knowledge test, a practical flight planning test, and an oral exam.
