FLIGHT
OPERATIONS
BRIEF - INTRODUCTION
 2
What we need to know

• In aircraft operation, all aspects of flight must be involved, namely the

aircraft, airport, pilot, navigation and aviation safety units.

• Everything must meet predetermined standards and have a certificate

of eligibility for aircraft age is not the main element that determines
flight safety.

• The important thing is discipline in the aircraft maintenance cycle. And

things that must be considered are Skill Preservation, the health
condition of the air crew, and flight safety support. Likewise, strict
supervision of the applicable provisions is a fundamental element to be
implemented and penalties must be imposed for carelessness that
occurs.

A. Related Parties in Aviation Operations

The parties involved in the operation of the aircraft and have the authority
or an authority and play an important role in the flight operations of an
aircraft.

The Flight Operations Support Department's role is to coordinate all these

technical and operational factors such as the weather, over flight permits,
route planning, aircraft performance, airport facilities, the aircraft's
technical condition or fuel requirements. The department has a key role
within the company.

WORTH NOTING:

• Becoming an aviator/pilot/crew or an aircraft technician is a familiar job.

• To operate an aircraft, especially scheduled flights, a licensed person who

manages flights from the ground is called a Flight Operation Officer or FOO.

• There is only ONE main difference between FOO and pilots, namely that FOO
does not fly the plane or does not pilot the plane but MUST know all the basics
of flight learned by an pilot.

• There are two general rules about operating aircraft commercially, namely
following CASR Part 135 or Part 121. For discussion, we take an example with
Part 121, namely companies that operate aircraft with passenger seat
configurations of more than 30 including crew seats or have load capacity
over 3409 kg or 7500 pounds. Arrangements smaller than this will fall
under the PART 135 rule
