Communicating with Aircraft in Flight (more)

How often have you had to get an important message to a flight crew or passenger while the aircraft is still airborne? Or, how often have your passengers had important business activities to conduct while enroute on an extended flight without computer connectivity or online access to email, presentations, or the Internet? These are only some of the communication challenges most business travelers experience. Session attendees will learn about some of the advances in aviation technology and services that make it easier to communicate with business aircraft, and that can enable increased productivity and communication for in-flight passengers.

Dispatch Resource Management (more)

Many of the problems encountered by flight crews and aircraft dispatchers have very little to do with the technical aspects of flight operations. Instead, most are associated with poor group decision-making, ineffective communication, inadequate leadership, and poor task or resource management. Historically, aircraft dispatcher training programs have focused almost exclusively on the "how to" aspects of dispatching and on an individual dispatcher's performance; these programs did not effectively address resource management issues fundamental to safe flight. Human factors awareness should be an everyday part of a Dispatcher's workplace environment and culture. More importantly, the resourcefulness displayed while making critical decisions is an opportunity the Scheduler/Dispatcher must take advantage of.
