FAA Airline License Dispatch Course

Airline Dispatch Training


FlightSafety provides the FAA License Dispatch course to thoroughly prepare students for a career as a Flight Dispatcher. Aircraft dispatchers join flight crews to ensure flight operational safety. FlightSafety’s specialized operational training thoroughly prepares you for that crucial responsibility. We offer both a comprehensive initial training course that prepares you for the FAA certification exams and recurrent training for licensed dispatchers who want to keep their skills sharp.

The initial course is 240 hours, with 40 hours of practical training above FAA course requirements.

Courses offered at our LaGuardia Learning Center or onsite by special arrangement, cover all required areas of knowledge.

  • Regulations
  • Meteorology
  • Navigation
  • Aircraft Aerodynamics
  • Communication
  • Air Traffic Control
  • Emergency and Abnormal Procedures
  • Practical Dispatch Applications
  • Dispatch Resource Management


Initial Aircraft Dispatch Training


Our standard initial course consists of 240 hours of classroom training, which can be completed on either a full or part-time basis. Training includes two hours of observation in a top-level, full motion simulator to enhance your understanding and reinforce your knowledge of navigation and aircraft performance.

Initial Reduced Course


Those with aviation experience may opt, with approval, for our reduced course. The FAA authorizes FlightSafety to credit relevant experience for portions of the initial course curriculum.

Airline Dispatch Resource Management


FAR Part 121 requires initial and recurrent dispatch resource management training for certified aircraft dispatchers. The goal of our comprehensive program, presented in an interactive workshop format, is to prevent aircraft accidents by improving dispatcher and flight-crew performance through better coordination. The program satisfies FAA requirements for dispatch resource management while you benefit from enhanced communication skills, more successful interpersonal relationships and improved workload management. All translate into a more productive workplace. The following subjects are covered in the course:
  • Situational Awareness
  • Recognition and Prevention of Error Chains
