pilot in command for the safety &
operational control the flight. He

regulations & policies to ensure

the preferred & most economical
route of flight . He prepares &
signs the dispatch release which is
a legal document providing authorization
for the flight to depart. He authorized

if unsafe conditions pose a threat
to the safety of the aircraft, passengers,
cargo or flight. He monitors weather
conditions, aircraft, passengers,
