What are the three Skyborne Dispatch Procedures?
1.) Aircraft binder will not be released until all preflight planning and prep has been completed. The following items must also be verified with OCC: flight reflects proper course, note the aircraft return time and past discrepancies.
2.) Must notify OCC of all passengers or trainee observers
3.) Flights must depart on time and must return by end of scheduled flight period. If not, report to OCC as soon as possible.
