The Critical Role of Certified Aircraft Dispatchers: Meeting the NTSB’s Call for Enhanced Safety in Part 135 Operations

The aviation industry is evolving rapidly, with safety and operational efficiency becoming more critical than ever. Recent findings by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) have emphasized the urgent need for certified aircraft dispatchers in Part 135 operations—such as those involved in on-demand charter flights, air ambulance services, and other critical aviation sectors. At Flight Innovation Inc., we are at the forefront of providing the necessary training to ensure that our graduates are not only FAA-certified but also fully equipped to meet these evolving industry standards.

Why Certified Dispatchers Are More Important Than Ever

In a comprehensive review conducted from 2010 to 2022, the NTSB investigated 116 fatal and 460 nonfatal accidents within the Part 135 sector. The results were concerning: deficiencies in operational control and flight-locating procedures were common factors in many of these incidents. The NTSB concluded that these deficiencies could largely be addressed by requiring the use of certified dispatchers who hold joint responsibility with pilots for the safety and operational control of flights​.


Certified dispatchers are crucial in providing a layer of oversight, which can prevent accidents caused by poor weather conditions, improper fuel management, and inadequate flight planning. The NTSB’s report specifically highlighted how certified dispatchers, through their rigorous training and defined responsibilities, can significantly reduce the risks associated with Part 135 operations.
