Standardizing OCC Capability and Training by Implementing FAA Part 121 Dispatcher Certification Requirements

This interactive discussion will highlight the need to standardize OCC training using the FAA Part 121 Dispatcher certification model. Apollo MedFlight has been training and certifying each operational control specialist as Part 121 Dispatchers to increase the knowledge and expertise to become more actively involved in all flight decisions. This training is the benchmark the industry should strive for and leverages the world-wide credibility of our partner, Jeppesen Academy, in advancing and standardizing OCC-level training for all air ambulance operations.
