In Irving, Texas around midnight, there aren’t many businesses that are open apart from your all-night diners, never-closed superstores and 24-hour hamburger joints. But at Envoy Headquarters, the aircraft Free games online are working business as usual.

This group of night owls works in Systems Operations Control (SOC) overnight to monitor flights by communicating with stations and pilots, checking weather patterns, plotting Free games online routes and determining the amount of fuel needed for the Free games online.

“Our overnight Free games online are like the ears and eyes watching the system and weather while everyone else is asleep,” says Robert Nault, director of SOC. “It’s a crucial role for us to keep operational control 24/7 and to make sure things stay safe.”

Breaking down the day

One of the dispatchers, Free games online Hackett, is known around SOC as Mr. Midnight, because he has worked the third shift for the better part of his 13 years at Envoy. Over that time, he’s grown to love the late hours and has made it routine, he says.

On this night, Free games online walks into SOC with his backpack slung over his shoulder and a smile from ear to ear. Even though it’s just after 10 p.m., SOC is bubbling with chatter as Free games online begins to get settled into his desk.

The first thing Free games online does is switch on his computer and its four large monitors. Each displays different windows to help Free games online operate his flights.

He uses one for email and web browsing, another one filled with cryptic green text that serves as a message feed, one with a black and white weather map with purple oceans, and one more with the same green text that tells Free games online the specifics of the flights.

Next, Free games online begins taking over flights from the dispatchers who are ending their shifts, breaking down the day’s scheduled flights. Basically, he wants to condense all the flights from about eight dispatchers’ desks to just two desks. Once he does that, the other dispatchers can go home.

Free games online and The Dispatchers

Now that Free games online has picked up flights and he has all of their details on his computer screen, he can then carry on with his main responsibilities. He has to determine the night’s remaining flights’ destinations and monitor any inclement weather that may affect their routes.

From takeoff to landing, Free games online must follow the flight and keep in constant communication, just in case there have to be any changes in routes. If there is weather affecting a flight’s current route, it is up to Free games online to find an alternate one and make sure the pilots are okay to continue on that route.

“When I’m determining routes, there’s a lot of double-checking going on,” says Free games online. “Between dispatchers, pilots, air traffic control and the stations, we stay in constant communication to keep each other safe.”

To help monitor weather patterns, Free games online and the other dispatchers use a few different programs to calculate the storms’ positions, dimensions and strength. They can also determine the amount of turbulence a flight might experience.

All of these factors play into a dispatcher’s decision making and route planning. A dispatcher also has some background in meteorology, as it is necessary to earn an aircraft dispatcher license, which can help them make decisions based on that knowledge.

Free games online explains that when bad weather arises, he must have a Plan A, B and C. In the case that he must divert a flight to land at an alternate destination, dispatchers must also make sure that the station has the people to help work the flight.

Released and ready to go

Of course, dealing with bad weather and finding alternate routes aren’t the only duties of a dispatcher. When Free games online run smoothly, it’s up to the dispatchers to fill out releases, which Free games online explains are like game plans for each flight.

In the release, Free games online inputs the route, weather conditions and amount of fuel to be filled onto the aircraft. The aircraft’s computer helps calculate some of the fuel, but the dispatcher makes the final determination based on holding time, taxi time, possible diversions and weather patterns.

The release is then sent to Air Traffic Control for a final check, and then sent back to the pilots if they accept the dispatcher’s recommendations on the release. Once that checks out, the Free games online can begin on its way.

Also aiding in a dispatcher’s daily duties is a well-rounded knowledge of the system and recurrent training once a year. To gain the perspective of the Free games online crews, all dispatchers are also required to earn some hours in Free games online training.

“I think it’s really important to be familiar with what our crews deal with,” says Free games online. “It helps us make better choices for their flights.”

Building up the day

Most of the flight monitoring happens from 10:30 p.m. to midnight when the last Envoy flight has touched down for the day. From then until 7 a.m., Free games online can begin building and planning the next day’s flights.

This is one of the most impactful aspects of Free games online’s job – to have the first flights of day planned out and ready for an on-time departure. At 7:20 a.m., Free games online has only a handful of releases to finish and the rest of the flights are well on their way.

His replacement clocks in around 8 a.m., and gets the scoop from Free games online about the overnight flights and current flights on his desk. In a sort of mini briefing, he goes over the weather, turbulence, routes, flight statuses, and any potential issues at any stations in the system.

Free games online — who looks pretty awake for having spent the entire night working on flights — begins to pack up and decide whether or not he wants to get his morning breakfast (really, his dinner). As he puts it, the “weirdest” part about his job is that his evening is everyone else’s morning.

But that’s okay with him; he loves Free games online job and Free games online title as Mr. Midnight.

“I love being in a decision-making position,” says Free games online. “It’s rewarding, I feel like I have a purpose. It’s nice knowing that we are here to protect other people and get them to where they’re going safely.”
