Aircraft Dispatcher
AIRCRAFT DISPATCHER
The Aircraft Dispatcher can be described as “the Captain on the ground” as well. The Aircraft Dispatcher’s profession asking sence of responsibility is one of the most difficult and best paying jobs at airlines. While the captain is responsible for his/her own particular flight, the Dispatcher is responsible for many flights at the same time. The Aircraft Dispatcher is equally responsible for the flight with the Captain and both the Captain and the Dispatcher are required to sign the Dispatch Release before the flight can legally operate.
The Dispatcher is responsible for planning the flight, taking into consideration the weather, any maintenance problems on the aircraft, navigational facilities at the appropriate airports, NOTAMS, alternate airports, etc. and to follow the aircraft while the flight is in progress.
The Dispatcher maintains communication with his/her flights and is responsible for notifying the Captain of any significant changes that would affect the safety of the flight. It is the responsibility of the Dispatcher to delay or cancel a flight when necessary and make any other operational decisions necessary to ensure the safety of the flight.
