Aircraft Dispatcher

The primary objective of the "Aircraft Dispatcher Course" is to prepare students to take the FAA Aircraft Flight Dispatch written and practical tests.  Applicants for the Dispatcher Course must be at least 21 years old.  The basic course entails 6 weeks of training followed by a week allotted for FAA examinations. 

An optional Distance Learning phase is offered, and strongly recommended, for applicants lacking any previous aviation training.  This phase is completed prior to the Dispatch Resident Course.  In addition to airline theory and fundamentals, extensive emphasis is placed on Aviation Weather, which is the primary focus of the resident course.  This will help insure successful completion of the course and the FAA practical test.
