Does having an ATP count as part of the practical experience toward a dispatcher certificate if you're non-military and have no Part 121 experience? That's my situation, and I'm wondering if any part of my flight experience -- 7000TT (mostly single engine and a mix of Part 135 and instruction) -- will help reduce the training requirements.
I found this passage in the FARs, which sounds like there is something allowable other than military/121/ATC experience, but it doesn't say exactly what that would be:
§ 65.57 Experience or training requirements.
...(4) In aircraft operations, performing other duties that the Administrator finds provide equivalent experience.
(b) A statement of graduation issued or revalidated in accordance with §65.70(b) of this part, showing that the person has successfully completed an approved aircraft dispatcher course.
In case you're wondering why a 7000 hour ATP is considering dispatching, it's because of my nearly non-existent multi time (400 hours from more than 10 years ago) and the fact that I'm too old to even think about flying for an airline (pushing 50). Thanks in advance for any info.
