These are real pages from the book. The table of contents is the full one: 9 parts and 62 topics.
You're working a load problem. You have the CG in inches from the datum, and the question wants it in percent of MAC.
The manual covers it in one long paragraph: datum, arm, leading edge, mean aerodynamic chord, all in the same sentence. So you end up guessing what to subtract from what.
In this book, %MAC is one page. The MAC is drawn along the wing, LEMAC marked at its front edge, the CG in between, and the formula worked in three boxed steps: subtract, divide, multiply by 100.
The other heavy topics work the same way: the TAF on a timeline, the fuel load as a stacked bar, the 60% landing rule, alternate minimums and the dispatch release, each on its own page.
Next load problem, you work it out without going back to the manual, and you can say each step out loud.
The job and the method, weather, route and airspace, fuel, weight and balance, performance, alternates and MEL, the release and flight following, and review with oral prep: 66 pages, all illustrated.
Think of it this way:
You're in the practical test. The examiner hands you a forecast and asks whether this flight needs an alternate, and which one you'd pick and why.
In the book you open the alternates page and see the TAF on a timeline, the one-hour window around arrival marked, and the 1-2-3 rule in a box.
Same with domestic and flag fuel, %MAC, V1-VR-V2, the 60% landing rule and the dispatch release: each one on its own page.
Aircraft Dispatcher Illustrated is 9 parts and 66 illustrated pages, one topic per page, and it ends with one flight dispatched in 7 steps, the most frequent mistakes and the numbers to have at hand.
What you see drawn, you don't have to memorize.
What operational control means, who can get the certificate under Part 65, the ADX and the practical test, the 7-step method, units and abbreviations, and domestic vs flag vs supplemental.
METARs left to right, ceilings, weather codes, the TAF on a timeline, winds aloft, fronts, thunderstorms, wind shear, icing, turbulence, SIGMETs and AIRMETs, and the GFA.
Pressure and density altitude, US airspace, jet routes and Q-routes, great circle and winds, NOTAMs and TFRs, and the ICAO flight plan fields.
Fuel: you'll see why the same trip can need a different total. The fuel load as a stacked bar, domestic fuel under 121.639, flag fuel under 121.645, the same trip worked both ways, burn and step climbs, tankering, and minimum vs emergency fuel.
The weight ladder from BEW to landing weight, MZFW, MTOW and MLW, the CG on a balance beam, %MAC, shifting and adding weight, and the load sheet.
V1, VR and V2, runway-limited takeoff weight, climb and obstacle limits, the 60% landing rule and wind components.
When you need a destination alternate, the second alternate, takeoff alternates, alternate minimums, how to defend your choice, and the MEL and CDL on the release.
What goes on the dispatch release, who signs it and how long it's kept, delays and redispatch, flight following, emergency authority and duty time.
One full flight in 7 steps, how to answer the examiner out loud, the most frequent weather, fuel, weight and alternate mistakes, and the numbers to have at hand.
At the end of the book: One full flight dispatched in 7 steps, the most frequent mistakes and the numbers to have at hand.
Test yourself topic by topic and see why each answer is right, with the page of the book that explains it.
Fuel rules, alternate minimums, METAR codes and release items on printable cards to review in minutes before the test.
