When crews have a question regarding a discrepancy or entering a discrepancy in the logbook, flight crews must make initial contact with dispatch and notify the dispatcher of the discrepancy or question and then ask to be transferred to Maintenance Control through the responsible dispatcher. The dispatcher will then forward the call to maintenance control, and will stay on the conference call at his or her discretion based upon the discrepancy being reported. The purpose of this communications flow is to enhance flight status awareness between the PIC and dispatcher who share operational control over a flight.
