Sec. 65.63  Aircraft dispatcher certification courses: Application, 

duration, and other general requirements.



    (a) Application. Application for original approval of an aircraft 

dispatcher certification course or the renewal of approval of an 

aircraft dispatcher certification course under this part must be:

    (1) Made in writing to the Administrator;

    (2) Accompanied by two copies of the course outline required under 

Sec. 65.61(b) of this part, for which approval is sought;

    (3) Accompanied by a description of the equipment and facilities to 

be used; and

    (4) Accompanied by a list of the instructors and their 

qualifications.

    (b) Duration. Unless withdrawn or canceled, an approval of an 

aircraft dispatcher certification course of study expires:

    (1) On the last day of the 24th month from the month the approval 

was issued; or

    (2) Except as provided in paragraph (f) of this section, on the date 

that any change in ownership of the school occurs.

    (c) Renewal. Application for renewal of an approved aircraft 

dispatcher certification course must be made within 30 days preceding 

the month the approval expires, provided the course operator meets the 

following requirements:

    (2) The aircraft dispatcher certification course continues to meet 

the requirements of this subpart for course approval.

    (d) Course revisions. Requests for approval of a revision of the 

course outline, facilities, or equipment must be in accordance with 

paragraph (a) of this section. Proposed revisions of the course outline 

or the description of facilities and equipment must be submitted in a 

format that will allow an entire page or pages of the approved outline 

or description to be removed and replaced by any approved revision. The 

list of instructors may be revised at any time without request for 

approval, provided the minimum requirements of Sec. 65.67 of this part 

are maintained and the Administrator is notified in writing.

    (e) Withdrawal or cancellation of approval. Failure to continue to 

meet the requirements of this subpart for the approval or operation of 

an approved aircraft dispatcher certification course is grounds for 

withdrawal of approval of the course. A course operator may request 

cancellation of course approval by a letter to the Administrator. The 

operator must forward any records to the FAA as requested by the 

Administrator.

    (f) Change in ownership. A change in ownership of a part 65, 

appendix A-approved course does not terminate that aircraft dispatcher 

certification course approval if, within 10 days after the date that any 

change in ownership of the school occurs:

    (1) Application is made for an appropriate amendment to the 

approval; and

    (2) No change in the facilities, personnel, or approved aircraft 

dispatcher certification course is involved.

    (g) Change in name or location. A change in name or location of an 

approved aircraft dispatcher certification course does not invalidate 

the approval if, within 10 days after the date that any change in name 

or location occurs, the course operator of the part 65, appendix A-

approved course notifies the Administrator, in writing, of the change.
