Professor

Formerly IATA Director, Operations, Capt Don Van Dyke, FRAeS served as Alternate to the ICAO Air Navigation Commission and represented 290 airlines on expert panels dealing with Operations, Airworthiness, Flight Crew Licensing and Training, Aeronautical Information Services, Meteorology, and Visual Aids. He managed IATA Committees on Flight Operations and Engineering & Maintenance and their 21 working groups and conducted Operational Quality Standards audits of new member airlines worldwide.  Prior to joining IATA, Don was Head of Safety, British Airways-Comair where his novel approach to integrated risk management was instrumental in the airline acquiring the first British Airways franchise outside Europe.

His early work with Sierra Research Corporation involved navigation, guidance and radar systems for the US Air Force and US Navy as well as the world's first commercial weather modification project.  He later became Chairman of Dynamic Technology and CEO of Command Airways (South Africa) . He has authored over 100 publications, is a long-time contributor to Professional Pilot , and has lectured at numerous international events. He holds three patents.

He is a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society , a Senior Member of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics and a member of the University Aviation Association. Don earned his B.Sc with concentrations in management, organizational development and international aviation law from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and is completing his MBA.  A veteran pilot, he has over 18000 hours with 16000 in command of jet and turboprop airliners and helicopters, flying as an instructor, check airman, type rating examiner, and technical pilot.

Target Segment

Chief pilots, Directors of Operations, Airline Training Pilots, Approved Check Pilots, Civil Aviation Agency Inspectors, Procedure Designers, Airline Pilots, ATPL Candidates, Aerodrome Noise Abatement Specialists, Aircraft Buyers, Aircraft Fleet Managers, Candidate Flight Dispatchers and anyone for whom knowledge of effective flight fuel management to achieve performance requirements is imperative.

Description

Operational Flight Fuel Management (OFFM) offers a critical examination of real-world applications by exploring and explaining techniques for planning, verification, consumption, monitoring, recording and reconciliation of fuel loaded and used on aircraft. This course supports standards, recommended practices and provisions in:

• ICAO Annex 6 Part 1, Operation of Aircraft, International Commercial Air Transport;
• ICAO Doc 9976 Flight Planning and Fuel Management Manual; and
• ICAO Doc 10013 Operational Opportunities to Reduce Fuel Burn and Emissions.
  

Goals of OFFM include:

• Improved flight efficiency and enhanced flight safety;
• Improved vigilance and early decision-making;
• Fuel conservation and avoided or reduced emissions; and
• Minimized flight costs and higher returns on investment.

Successful course completion will lead to:

• Fuel use and efficiency cultures which embrace concepts essential to safer, more competitive operations;
• Critical examination of fuel use during each flight phase and recommendations to enhance operational economy;
• Actively engaging managers and staff through education, training and checking activities; and
• Refining existing fuel conservation guidance addressing aspects and opportunities not previously recognized.
