Find out what a flight operations officer’s job entails, what the entrance criteria are, and what you will do as a flight operations officer. The National Civil Aviation Authority (ANAC) certified Air Dream College’s Integrated Flight Operations Officer / Dispatch Officer course as the first course for students with or without aeronautical experience. This course is split into two parts. A theoretical process will be provided in person in Alfragide, Lisbon, in new classrooms that are completely equipped with the most up-to-date technology on the market, followed by a four-month internship in an airline. The total training program at Air Dream College is 1209 (one thousand two hundred and nine hours) of instruction/training spread out over 12 to 16 months, depending on the student’s success. Classes are limited to a maximum of 12 students in order to concentrate on each student’s individual needs and create a more engaging atmosphere between the instructors and students. This course would have an assessment approach based on a realistic and continuous schedule, with participation in at least 70% of the classes being required. Classes will last 3 to 4 hours a day, with breaks decided upon by teachers and students.
Modules:
While the Flight Operations Officer integrated course curriculum is structured to include in-depth theoretical information on topics relevant to the role of flight dispatchers and operational control procedures, the realistic aspect goes well beyond the minimum criteria and provides a range of scenarios, drills, and problem-solving situations that are experienced on a daily basis. The student will be required to complete a 90-day realistic period after which he will be required to complete an 18-week technical internship in an airline. During these four months, the student must demonstrate his realistic ability to complete at least 120 flight dispatches as required by statute, as declared by an air operator or operational dispatch organization. This internship is offered by Air Dream College in accordance with existing collaborations or adaptable if you are currently employed by any airline or airport.
