Specificity of the professional activity of naval aviation helicopter pilots

Abstract

An important component of the military-professional training of cadets-military pilots in military aviation universities is the formation of readiness for practical activities in the troops. At the same time, the quality of training of aviation specialists does not fully meet the requirements of customers for military personnel. It is possible that the reason for this discrepancy lies in the insufficiently expressed methodological strategy of military professional training. Modern military-political conditions and trends in the development of naval aviation require that helicopter pilots have personality neoplasms that contribute to the high-quality performance of professional tasks in all types of activities. The conducted genesis of the military professional training of helicopter pilots of naval aviation revealed a number of significant problems, the solution of which is facilitated by methodological approaches of professional pedagogy. In the course of the study, based on the activity approach and the principle of identification, the leading role of interaction in all types of professional activity was established, which determines its specificity. Content- analysis of professional tasks based on a functional approach revealed a feature of professional activity, which consists in a set of professional tasks corresponding to indicators in the structure of readiness for interaction. On the basis of a system-structural approach, taking into account the specifics and features of activity, the structure of readiness for interaction (motivational-value, activity and cognitive components) and the criteria for the formation of its components (crew flight, military cohesion and tactical flight thinking) are proposed. Arguments are given regarding the need to develop readiness for interaction among helicopter pilots of naval aviation during their training at a military aviation university, as an integrative personality trait, which includes not only a set of abilities to solve professional problems, but also a number of professionally important qualities
