            <p>The profession of flight dispatch serves as a cornerstone of modern commercial aviation, acting as the essential ground-based link that ensures every flight is conducted with the highest degree of safety and efficiency. Often described as the "pilot on the ground," a flight dispatcher shares legal responsibility with the Pilot-in-Command for the safe operation of an aircraft. This course explores the fundamental principles of this role, beginning with the core concept of operational control—the authority to initiate, continue, divert, or terminate a flight. By examining the relationship between dispatchers and key stakeholders such as air traffic control and maintenance teams, participants will gain a clear understanding of how dispatch functions as a critical safety oversight rather than a mere administrative task.</p>

<p>Beyond the daily operational tasks, a comprehensive understanding of the international regulatory landscape is vital for any aspiring aviation professional. This curriculum provides a detailed overview of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) and the regulatory framework established by the Chicago Convention of 1944. Students will learn how ICAO Annexes and Standards are translated into national laws, forming the legal chain of authority that governs global flight operations. Furthermore, the course addresses the ethical responsibilities inherent in the profession, emphasizing the importance of technical competence and the prioritization of safety over commercial pressures. Through practical scenarios and a review of common industry misconceptions, learners will develop the foundational knowledge necessary to navigate the complex system of modern operational control.</p>
