Flight operations officers are the architects of a plan that the air traffic controllers and pilots deliver. The operations department keeps the airline working from moment to moment despite disruption by weather and a thousand other possible occurrences or mishaps.

This means a flight operations officer needs a good understanding of the possibilities and performance limitations of the fleet she/he is responsible for.
