This is necessary because as a flight dispatcher, you will be operating radio equipment. Once you are hired by an air operator, the air operator will provide you with Flight Dispatcher Specific Training.Īt some stage you will also need to obtain an Aeronautical Restricted Radio Operator's Permit. We cannot help you with job finding but there are many air operators in Canada that need flight dispatchers throughout all regions of Canada. Once you have succeeded on the TC FD Generic examinations, you must then find employment with a Canadian air operator. Typically, most who self study for the FD Generic Examinations typically require about 150 - 200 hours of self study using our training texts. However, anyone can sit the FD Generic Examinations without any need for an advance recommendation letter or other authorization, regardless of whether or not one has an aviation background. The amount of study time needed to prepare for the FD Generic Exams varies widely depending upon the particular individual's background and experience: an airline pilot will need much less time than a person not having any aviation experience. We also offer a Flight Dispatcher online course that you can use to supplement your self study with our training manuals.
