The military professional training of cadets-military pilots in a military aviation university is conditioned by the trends in the development of military education, its prompt response to the personnel needs of the troops. Aviation units need military pilots who are ready to fulfill the official duties of crew commanders, to solve the urgent task of ensuring flight safety. Training of flight personnel for military aviation does not fully take into account the need to form cadets' competencies as an aviation commander and teacher, which will contribute to ensuring flight safety and increasing the combat potential of aviation units and subunits. The article deals with the problem of flight safety as a factor affecting the national security of Russia, paying attention to the causes of accidents and pilot errors. In the course of the study, it was proved that the military-professional activity of cadets-military pilots is the process of solving professional tasks that ensure the combat readiness of aviation units while observing flight safety conditions. Based on the content analysis of the command and methodological professional tasks based on the activity approach, the leading role of the command-methodological activity has been established. The functional approach and the principle of identification made it possible to identify the functions of the leading command-methodological activity (military flight training and educational, organizational and managerial). Arguments are given regarding the development of cadets not only a set of abilities for command-methodological activity, but also professionally important qualities that integrate command-methodological competence. The structure of competence (motivational-value, cognitive, activity components) is determined taking into account the specifics (leading type of activity) and features (a set of command and methodological professional tasks) of military professional activity. The criteria for the formation of the components of the command-methodical competence (professional purposefulness, intellectual potential, professional responsibility) have been identified. The methodological basis of the pedagogical system for the formation of the command-methodical competence of cadets-military pilots was formed by the system-structural, personality-activity, functional, modular, adaptive, technological and competence-based approaches. The results of the experimental work carried out in the branch of Military Educational-Research Centre of Air Force Air Force Academy in Syzran confirmed the dependence of the cadets' readiness for flight safety activities on the formation of command-methodological competence.

Abstract.The study of the formation of adaptive competence of future pilots in the training process is relevant given the active integration of Ukrainian aviation into the world community, development of relations and increasing interoperability of Ukrainian military aviation with the NATO Air Forces, in accordance with the Military Doctrine of Ukraine and the Strategic defense bulletin, as well as the urgent need to use the rules of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA), which cooperate with ICAO, when using the common airspace. Recently, civil and military aviation have been working closely together, and military pilots are increasingly involved in evacuating the population during emergencies abroad, multinational military exercises, etc. Pilots of civil and military aviation of Ukraine should adapt to the requirements of the new environment as soon as possible, and higher education institutions that train pilots should adjust the training process in accordance with the new requirements. The issue of adaptive competence in general and in particular, the adaptive competence of future pilots has not been sufficiently studied yet in the modern scientific literature and therefore needs further consideration. The article aims to define and characterize the basic concepts of formation of adaptive competence of future pilots in the process of their training, which will be followed by scientific substantiation, creation of structural-functional model of formation of adaptive competence of future pilots, and creation and approbation of author's technology at the educational institutions which train pilots.  The article considers and investigates the concepts of adaptation and its types; professional adaptation of the pilot; adaptability; competencies and competency; professional competency of the future pilot, its components and criteria of its formation; concepts and features of adaptive competency of future pilots. It also describes and characterizes the features of the future activities of pilots and certain requirements for the training of pilots in civil and military aviation. Key words: adaptation, adaptability, competence, adaptive competence, professional training.

Abstract. The article is devoted to the special features of the military pilots training and the problem of forming their readiness for professional interaction when using the joint airspace with other countries. The article deals with the specifics of a military pilot’s job and the specificity of military pilots training at the Kharkov National Air Force University, in particular, at the Aviation English Department. The components of military pilots' readiness for professional interaction, criteria and levels of such readiness are determined. It is emphasized that readiness for professional interaction in the common airspace is a necessary requirement today in view of the active development of cooperation and formation of interoperability between Ukrainian aviation and foreign partners. Such readiness is impossible without a proper level of military pilots’ foreign language command. Successful formation of future aviation pilots' readiness for professional interaction while using common airspace requires the modernization of cadets training and the use of innovative pedagogical technologies that promote personality development and increase the training effectiveness.

The importance of a humanitarian component in future preschool teachers' professional training has been proved in the article. The ways of quality assessment of educational result existing in practice of teaching professional disciplines have been critically analyzed.The purpose of the article consists in representation of separate results of a local research on use of graphic organizers in the course of teaching professional disciplines for future pedagogues of preschool education institutions. It has been presented a number of native and foreign scientists' researches (Т. Buzan, М. Dulama, J. Clark, J. Perkins, О. Pometun etc.) on a problem of students' thinking activation, development of their cognitive activity, criticality. Graphic organizers have been considered as the instrument of students' thinking activation. Their leading role in intelligent perception development and initial information understanding by students in mastering of "live knowledge" has been emphasized (A. Furman). Executed analysis of theoretical fundamentals of technology of graphic organizers application allowed choosing the most effective methods that correspond to the content and nature of subject matters. The method of educational information visualization has been justified. It has been defined different classifications of graphic organizers: by the form of the information organization (М. Eppler, Р. Lengler by the type of spatial images (D. Halpern); by the way of the goal achievement (D. Clark), etc. It has been convincingly proved the expediency of graphic organizers application at different stages of a lecture: at the beginning – as a means of motivation, students' concerning about new subject, the appeal to own experience and its reflection, orientation in a new subject; in the main part of lecture – as means of educational dialogue optimization, systematization of knowledge – the method of clusters, practical simulation of a certain model of professional actions; for the purpose of quality control of the acquired knowledge abilities or a reflection of changes in result of a lecture. Various ways of graphic organizers use have been illustrated through concrete examples: insert method, «Decision Trees», «Art gallery», «6 W»; tables «What? Where? How? In what? », M-table and others. The comparison of the results of motivation levels inspection, students' communicativeness and theoretical awareness at the beginning and at the end of the local research convincingly proved significant positive shifts in students' knowledge and skills.

Purpose In this study, a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach for evaluating airworthiness factors were presented. The purpose of this study is to develop an acceptable rationale for operational activities in civil and military aviation and for design, production and maintenance activities in the aviation industry that can be used in-flight safety programs and evaluations. Design/methodology/approach In aviation, while the initial and continuing airworthiness of aircraft is related to technical airworthiness, identifying and minimizing risks for avoiding losses and damages are related to operational airworthiness. Thus, the airworthiness factors in civil and military aviation were evaluated under these two categories as the technical and operational airworthiness factors by the analytic hierarchy process and analytic network process. Three technical and five operational airworthiness criteria for civil aviation, three technical and nine operational airworthiness criteria for military aviation were defined, evaluated, prioritized and compared in terms of flight safety. Findings The most important technical factor is the “airworthiness status of the aircraft” both in civil (81.9%) and military (77.6%) aviation, which means that aircraft should initially be designed for safety. The most significant operational factors are the “air traffic control system” in civil (30.9%) and “threat” in the military (26.6%) aviation. The differences within factor weights may stem from the design requirements and acceptable safety levels (frequency of occurrences 1 in 107 in military and 1 in 109 in civil aircraft design) of civil and military aircraft with the mission achievement requirements in civil and military aviation operations. The damage acceptance criteria for civil and military aircraft are different. The operation risks are accepted in the military and acceptance of specific tasks and the risk levels can vary with aircraft purpose and type. Practical implications This study provides an acceptable rationale for safety programs and evaluations in aviation activities. The results of this study can be used in real-world airworthiness applications and safety management by the aviation industry and furthermore, critical factor weights should be considered both in civil and military aviation operations and flights. The safety levels of airlines with respect to our airworthiness factor weights or the safety level of military operations can be computed. Originality/value This is the first study considering technical and operational airworthiness factors as an MCDM problem. Originality and value of this paper are defining critical airworthiness factors for civil and military aviation, ranking these factors, revealing the most important ones and using MCDM methods for the evaluations of airworthiness factors for the first time. In civil aviation flight safety is the basic tenet of airworthiness activities in risk analysis, on the other hand in military aviation high levels of risks are to be avoided in peace training or operational tasks. However, even high risks have to be accepted during the war, if the operational requirements impose, as mission achievement is vital. The paper is one of a kind on airworthiness evaluations for flight safety.

One of the principal skills for military pilots during their professional activity is profession-oriented interaction. That is because they need to be able to interact in a foreign language during radio exchange, as well as to interact with foreign representatives within the professional field. Along with the concept of interaction, the paper considers similar concepts of conversation, cooperation, and communication; however, interaction reveals military pilots’ communicative activity in the most accurate way. The author determines the idea of profession-oriented interaction through the prism of approaches and gives its characteristics. General scientific approaches are used while training military aviation students for profession-oriented interaction: competency-based, systemic, person-centered, as well as the culture-based approach used for teaching a foreign language. The paper shows the significance of each approach for training future military pilots. The competency-based approach makes it possible to determine competencies necessary for future military pilots and contributing to the implementation of profession-oriented interaction in a foreign language. The person-centered approach indicates the importance of taking into account the individual characteristics of future military pilots while forming the style of their professional activity. The systemic approach covers all training components which are necessary for profession-oriented interaction of military pilots. The culture-based approach actualizes the formation of intercultural communication skills between future military specialists.
