Flight Coordinator / Scheduler

Flight Coordinator / Scheduler - Weather Theory

This eLearning module introduces the foundational principles of weather theory relevant to flight coordination and dispatch operations. Designed for schedulers and flight coordinators, the course covers key atmospheric concepts such as pressure systems, fronts, wind patterns, cloud formation, and developing weather hazards like turbulence, thunderstorms, and icing.

By understanding the “why” behind the weather, learners gain deeper insight into how conditions evolve and impact flight safety. This knowledge supports more effective communication with flight crews, enhances preflight planning, and improves the ability to anticipate potential weather-related disruptions.

Part 135

The Federal Aviation Administration requires all personnel involved in operations under Part 135 to receive appropriate training to ensure safety and compliance with aviation regulations. Many flight departments do not use licensed dispatchers, so there is a gap in training between scheduling a trip and comprehending the trip's requirements, crew, and aircraft. Our flight coordinator modules and/or curriculum fill that gap in training. This module can also be part of your Safety Management System to mitigate risk. Even though not mandated under Part 135, this module builds critical weather awareness and strengthens an organization's overall risk management and safety culture.

Part 91

FAA regulations emphasize proper training and qualification for personnel involved in flight operations, and IS-BAO/BASC encourages ongoing safety and operational training. Organizations should develop comprehensive training programs for their flight coordinators that are aligned with regulatory standards and industry best practices.
