The Daniel Webster College Flight Dispatch is the heart of all flight operations at the DWC Aviation Center. Also at the Dispatch desk is the Flight Scheduling desk. Daniel Webster College operates both a hard and soft scheduling system. Like any other class, flight students are required to attend their flight block regardless of weather or other circumstances that might cancel a flight that day. On these occasions, many instructors will brief with the student about upcoming flights or simulator lessons can be accomplished.
Soft scheduling is based solely on instructor availability and student availability.
If a student opts to fly more than their assigned base schedule allows that week, the student may ask to be soft scheduled by an instructor. This allows the student to fly or brief with an instructor when both schedules allow. Sunday is assigned as a soft schedule day, and depending on student and instructor availability, can be used to complement any base schedule.
