Aircraft dispatchers or airline dispatchers, who are also called flight superintendents, schedule flights for airlines, private charter companies, cargo companies and military aircraft, make sure that all Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations are followed. They draw up flight plans and confer with pilots and flight engineers to determine that flights can be made safely. Dispatchers also maintain contact with crews after they are airborne to keep them advised of weather conditions, alternate landing plans, and necessary changes in altitude.
