Flight Planning and Flight Management

Flight Planning and Flight Management Training Course delivers a comprehensive understanding of how safe, efficient, and economically sound flight operations are planned, managed, and controlled from start to finish. In today’s highly regulated aviation environment, accurate flight planning and proactive flight management are essential to maintaining safety, regulatory compliance, fuel efficiency, and schedule reliability. This training course addresses the operational complexity of aviation by strengthening participants’ ability to plan, monitor, and manage flights effectively.

This training course covers the complete flight lifecycle, from pre-flight planning and dispatch coordination through to in-flight monitoring, contingency management, and post-flight evaluation. Participants gain practical insight into aircraft performance calculations, fuel planning methodologies, airspace structures, meteorology interpretation, and navigation planning. The course connects these technical elements to real operational decision-making, ensuring participants understand how each factor influences flight safety, cost control, and operational resilience.

The Flight Planning and Flight Management Training Course also develops proactive operational control skills. Participants learn how to monitor flights in real time, manage deviations, support crews during disruptions, and respond confidently to dynamic challenges such as weather changes, airspace restrictions, and fuel constraints. This integrated approach ensures learners can contribute effectively to safe, compliant, and cost-efficient flight operations across the aviation value chain.

This Flight Planning and Flight Management Training Course aims to develop the technical knowledge and operational decision-making skills required for effective end-to-end flight planning and control. The training focuses on regulatory compliance, safety, and operational efficiency.

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

• Perform professional flight planning in accordance with applicable aviation regulations and operational requirements.
• Calculate aircraft performance parameters, fuel requirements, and operational limitations accurately.
• Interpret meteorological data and airspace constraints to support optimal routing decisions.
• Monitor flights proactively and manage deviations, delays, and contingency situations.
• Support safe, efficient, and cost-effective flight operations through informed decision-making.
