A flight dispatcher assists in planning flight paths, taking into account aircraft performance and loading, winds along the route, thunderstorm and turbulence forecasts, airspace restrictions, and airport conditions. Dispatchers also provide a flight following service and advise pilots if conditions change. Dispatchers share responsibility for the exercise of operational control, which gives them authority to divert, delay or cancel a flight. Legal requirements govern dispatch releases in the United States. After the release of a flight the dispatcher uses sophisticated software tools to monitor the flights progress and advises the flight crew of any circumstances that might affect flight safety. Shared responsibility adds a layer of checks and balances to aircraft operation and greatly improves safety.
