By regulation, who is responsible for providing the pilot in command with weather information and irregularities of facilities and services?

The aircraft dispatcher is responsible for providing the pilot in command with critical information, including weather updates and any irregularities related to facilities and services. This is a fundamental part of the dispatcher’s role, ensuring that the flight crew is fully informed before takeoff and during the flight.

The aircraft dispatcher’s responsibilities include a thorough assessment of weather conditions and other external factors that could impact the safety and operation of the flight. By relaying timely updates, dispatchers help pilots make informed decisions that may be critical to the operation’s safety and efficiency.

While the director of operations and air route traffic control centers play essential roles in aviation operations, they do not have the direct responsibility for communicating immediate weather information and service irregularities to pilots during a flight. The dispatcher serves as a key point of communication for this information flow, thereby ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements aimed at enhancing flight safety.
