Непрерывный контроль психофизиологического состояния пилотов гражданской авиации в системе «экипаж–воздушное судно»

Abstract

The paper investigates the methods of assessing civil aviation (CA) pilots’ psychophysiological state as part of the continuous monitoring of the “man-machine” system parameters when predicting the flight crew’s unregulated actions, identifying pilots’ reserve psychophysiological capabilities in known or special situations that arise during flight missions.
 Methods for assessing the psychophysiological state include a set of psychophysiological testing programmes combined with a predictive base to ensure the flight safety. These methods are based on analysing psychophysiological indicators collected from the flight crews under study, taking into account the professional suitability and time intervals of the crew’s readiness to perform flight tasks. The purpose of diagnostic procedures is to optimise and automate a set of measures for training flight personnel to ensure the flight safety.
 The article presents the relationship between psychophysiological signs of professional suitability and unsuitability, as well as the relationship between special training and psychophysiological indicators. Describing the main methods of psychophysiological state assessment is given.
 The necessity of improving the existing methods of assessing pilots’ condition is shown, since they do not always reflect the true indicators. Developing new techniques and improvement of existing ones are required to achieve more accurate and reliable results and to enhance the flight safety. Further research and development should take into account technological progress and changes in the aviation industry, including the ergonomic aspects of the crews’ workplaces of modern aircraft.
 In conclusion, the importance of developing and improving methods for assessing civil aviation pilots’ psychophysiological state is emphasized. Continuous monitoring and forecasting of pilots’ psychophysiological state are crucial for ensuring the flight safety, it will contribute to a more accurate assessment and management of risks associated with the human factor in aviation, and provide for the further development of civil aviation.
