About the role
This interview covers the dispatcher's shared responsibility for safe and efficient flight operations. The panel is assessing whether you can produce a sound release, interpret weather and operational information, manage disruptions and communicate useful decisions to crews without losing the audit trail.
How to prepare
- Practise explaining a flight plan from route selection through fuel, alternates and final checks.
- Review how changing weather, aerodrome restrictions and aircraft defects affect dispatch decisions.
- Prepare an example of replanning a rotation under time pressure while protecting legal and safety margins.
- Revise the escalation and recording steps used during flight watch.
- Check the official aviation authority for current dispatcher licensing and operational requirements.
Common mistakes
- Choosing a route or alternate without explaining weather, fuel and operational constraints.
- Treating an automated plan as correct without performing an independent reasonableness check.
- Optimising payload or punctuality at the expense of a safe operational margin.
- Failing to record why a material change was made and who was informed.
