Flight dispatchers perform all flight planning necessary for the safe operation of flights and supervise the flight throughout the entire journey. Flight dispatchers ensure that all aircraft are prepared for the respective flights as efficiently as possible. Flight dispatchers use a variety of means and technologies, from operational planning tools to electronic systems, to maintain contact with the aircraft and all the various service providers.

• Prepare the flight dispatch documentation.
• Share responsibility with the captain for the safety and operational control of flights under his/her guidance.
• Analyze and evaluate meteorological information to determine potential hazards to the safety of flight and to select the most desirable and economical air route. Evaluate and re-evaluate weather at the departure and arrival sites, along the flight route, and similarly assess any other factors enroute. Also evaluate weather conditions at alternate airports in the event of an emergency landing.
• Prepare flight plans containing information such as maximum allowable takeoff and landing weights, weather reports, field conditions, NOTAMs and many other informational components required for the safe completion of flight.
• Update the pilot in command on significant changes to weather or flight plan and recommend flight plan alternates, such as changing course, altitude and, if required, enroute landings in the interest of safety and economy.
• Delay or cancel the flight if unsafe conditions threaten the safety of the aircraft or passengers.
• Compute the amount of fuel required for the safe completion of flight according to type of aircraft, distance of flight, maintenance limitations, weather conditions and minimum fuel requirements prescribed by aviation regulations.
