Description The Aircraft Dispatcher is a licensed airman who has joint responsibility with the captain for the safety and operational control of flights under his guidance. He analyzes and evaluates meteorological information to determine potential hazards to the safety of flight and to select the most desirable and economical route of flight. He prepares and signs the dispatch release which is the legal document providing authorization for a flight to depart. METEOROLOGY The study of the science of weather is much more important to pilots as well as flight dispatchers to plan safe and efficient flights. The Meteorological department also issues aeronautical meteorology special reports concerning meteorological conditions that may affect flights on the ground, airport facilities, airport services, and safe flight services on the runway. AIR NAVIGATION The science and technology which helps the process of planning, recording, and controlling the movement of aircraft from one place to another. The primary motive of air navigation is the Safe piloting of an aircraft on the proper route to the destination without endangering the safety of persons on board the aircraft or the ground AIR REGULATIONS As the aviation is an international business,the unification of the procedures of world aviation is the contribution of Regulatory authorities of each contracting states.Hence knowing the rules and regulations issued by the authority is much important for pilots and flight dispatchers The business aspects of airlines and their regulation also fall under aviation law. In the international realm, the International Civil Aviation Organization(ICAO) provides general rules and mediates international concerns to an extent regarding aviation law. FLIGHT PLANNING Flying is not as simple as driving a car, you need to be fully prepared and know the route that you are taking. It is vital that all flights are deemed to have a wellstructured and organised flight plan, which will not only maximise the safety of those on board but also reduce costs where necessary. The aim of flight planning is to create a recipe for the safest flight on a specific day and for a particular aircraft. Flight Planning is essentially planning, mapping out and understanding all of the criteria, materials and routes of a flight that you are undertaking. AIR TRAFFIC CONTRO Air Traffic Control Units have been designed to give air traffic control services. They are also responsible for giving flight information and alerting services to pilots. The aim of flight planning is to create a recipe for the safest flight on a specific day and for a particular aircraft.
