  Aircraft Dispatcher

  Aircraft dispatchers are part of the team that works in an airline/ground handling services operations control centre at an airport. They are responsible for co-ordinating activities to ensure that aircraft depart for flights on time. Aircraft dispatchers liaise with many different teams within an airport, including airlines, airport authorities and other internal departments working in ground services. They have to make sure that any work undertaken to prepare a flight is done to the correct standards and within set timeframe's and have the final say as to whether an aircraft can depart. They must also deal with any unexpected problems and make sure that they are resolved as quickly and efficiently as possible. Show less

  Load Controller

  Ensuring that the loads are distributed in the aircraft in such a way that the aircraft can be maintained at the correct pitch (angle) for safe and efficient flight. This is done by distributing the load according to specific loading instructions. It is the responsibility of the load control officer to ensure that the cargo pallets or containers are positioned at the correct point in the cargo hold. Another consideration while planning is that the containers that are supposed to be offloaded first have to be loaded last. The Load Control Officer needs to plan the layout and sequence of cargo loading as well as passengers seating which is especially important for take off and landing to maintain equilibrium. Once the seating and cargo distribution is finalised, then the load officer has to prepare a chart which will tell the pilot how to adjust the aircraft’s settings to accommodate its load. Show less
