Nov 2016 I Introduction: What to Expect for your flight operation officer The Aircraft dispatcher practical test process As with any testing process, the more you know about it, the less stressful and overwhelming it is. The aircraft dispatcher certification is not overly difficult to acquire. The information you must know prior to sitting for the CAO practical test is fairly straightforward; flight operation officer certification does require knowledge in a wide range of subject areas which would necessitate a tremendous amount of study and preparation. Applicants who put in ample study time and take advantage of available preparation tools, such as this book, should be well prepared for the test. While this book is an excellent means of preparing for the flight dispatcher practical test and is based upon actual question used on practical tests, it should not be the only source of study. Applicants should first participate in ground school course specific to dispatchers and / or read the books listed under “References” (below), then conclude their study with a comprehensive review of this book. Practical Test Standards (PTS) The Civil Aviation Organization (CAO) publishes guides to the practical tests for each certification that issue, known as the practical test standards (PTS). The PTS guides tell applicants exactly what to expect, what subject areas or tasks will be covered. And what they need to bring with them on test day. The PTS for the ADX is designated and CAO can be found on the CAO website or in paint. CAO documents pilot (ATP) the PTS are broken into several parts: areas of operation, tasks, and references. Areas of operation form an outline of what general subjects will be covered. Although they are presented in a logical sequence according to the CAO. Examiner do not necessarily follow this order. Tasks are the actual knowledge areas or procedures that will be covered under each area of operation. References are provided for each area of operation and task in order to provide applicants the source documents examiners all defer to for the correct responses. Applicants should study these documents in preparation for the exam. The list below includes these PTS references, as well as additional resources helpful in preparing for your ADX exam. II Examiners are required to use the PTS. They are also technically required to cover all areas of operation and their associated tasks. Some omission are permissible of, for example, a certain technology or piece of equipment in not available at the testing site. It is advisable, though, to be prepared for all areas of operation and tasks. It is also possible that the examiner will venture outside the confines of the PTS to probe the applicant in subjective areas such as judgment, decision making, and ethics.
