Why are Aircraft Dispatchers required for certain operations?
They perform preflight planning, preparing and signing a Dispatch Release (an authorization to operate), monitoring the flight progress, informing the PIC of significant operational information, canceling/delaying of the flight, among a few other duties. They are essentially a “Pilot-on-Ground”. This concept of the Airline Dispatch system is based on the “checks & balances” system (a safety margin); simply put, “two heads are better than one”.
