Airline Operations: North Atlantic NAT HLA Flight Planning course is an aviation course about airline operations, flight planning and dispatch in a very interesting and busy region of our World – the North Atlantics. This region connects two biggest global economies – USA and European Union, but not only. Modern long-haul airplanes can operate direct flights from Middle East and Asia to Caribbean and South America, which also involves the North Atlantic crossing. More than 700,000 flights cross the North Atlantic yearly and that volume of traffic continues to increase, meaning more and more people will need to enhance their aviation knowledge of the region.

In this advanced course we will learn the requirements for theoretical and practical flight planning and aircraft operations in the region. The vast majority of North Atlantic flights are performed by commercial jet transport aircraft in the band of levels FL 290 – FL 410, that means in North Atlantic High-Level Airspace, commonly known as NAT HLA. So, we will concentrate on main NAT HLA aspects, such as: Basic entry and aircraft equipment requirements, FANS 1/A, Random Routes, Organized Track System, Data Link Mandate, PBCS, ETOPS/EDTO, etc. We also will look on special routes in the region, such as Blue Spruce routes, Tango Routes, Adjacent routes and other. We will learn basic characteristics of North Atlantic weather, such as prevailing winds, jet streams, tropical storms and hurricanes.

Proper knowledge and understanding of the region by the personnel directly involved in the operations (flight/aircraft dispatchers, pilots, flight followers, air traffic controllers, etc.) can significantly improve flight planning and preparations, which will increase flight safety and fuel economy. Those who are not directly involved into the operations, for example airline Sales and Marketing teams, will benefit from the advanced knowledge on the region and aircraft and airline operations matters in particular.

My intention is that you understand the meaning and importance of the North Atlantic operations, including aviation regulations, certification process, flight planning and dispatch considerations, fuel planning, technical aspects, weather and other. The course is built from Airline Operations and Flight Dispatch perspective based on my own more than 12 years’ experience in this field.

The structure of the course is following:

The objective of this course for you is to be well oriented in most of the North Atlantic operational aspects, and get deep theoretical and practical knowledge on the subject and aviation in general. For better understanding the video course contains a lot of graphical information, practical examples, additional reading materials, articles and quizzes after each section.

I encourage you to begin this journey to Airline Operations and you will not regret it! If you have any questions during the course feel free to contact me, I will answer as quick as possible!
