Flight Dispatch
When you think of aviation, pilots and air traffic controllers often come to mind. But behind every safe take-off and smooth landing lies the expertise of a Flight Dispatcher. Flight Dispatch is one of the most critical yet lesser-known areas in the aviation industry, ensuring that every flight is safe, efficient, and fully compliant with international standards.
What is Flight Dispatch?
Flight Dispatch refers to the process of planning, monitoring, and supervising flights in cooperation with the captain and air traffic control. A licensed Flight Dispatcher is responsible for:
- Preparing flight plans considering weather conditions, air traffic, fuel efficiency, and routing.
- Monitoring flight progress in real time.
- Supporting pilots in abnormal and emergency situations.
- Ensuring compliance with ICAO and Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) regulations.
In essence, Flight Dispatchers are the unsung heroes of aviation, guaranteeing that aircraft operations remain safe and on schedule.
