Summary:

An aircraft dispatcher is a licensed professional certificated by the FAA who has joint responsibility with the captain for the safety and operation control of flights, and this exam guide prepares candidates with an explanation of the certification process and the necessary knowledge requirements for passing the practical oral exam. It provides practical applications to all critical subject areas, including route planning, regulations, training and currency requirements, certification, responsibilities and authority, aviation weather, and manuals and documents. The book places special emphasis on situational questions and includes a generic guide to the proper systems and procedures, which students can apply to the specific aircraft used in their individual operations. For aviators preparing for a career as an aircraft dispatcher or current dispatchers reviewing for their annual proficiency checks, this guide will provide all the information necessary for passing the required exam.
