Background: Analysis of aviation accident investigations indicates that one of the main causes of accidents is a decrease in the level of stress resistance of the crew during extreme flight situations, which in turn can lead to a crash. The study of the problem of the negative impact of stressors on the effective operation of the flight crew, indicates that there is a need to form stress resistance in future pilots of civil aviation in the training process. This quality will reduce the threat to flight safety due to human error. Purpose: To characterize publications that actualize the issues of professional stressors in the activities of civil aviation pilots, because their activities are constantly accompanied by many specific stressors, most of which are long-term. Materials and Methods: In the process of research general scientific methods were used – abstract-logical, theoretical generalization, comparison, analysis and synthesis, system analysis. Results: The problem of the impact of stress on the professional activities of pilots is considered, which in modern conditions becomes especially relevant, because the number of air traffic is growing every year. The main four types of general stress that occur in professional flying, as well as the consequences it leads to, are analyzed. Groups of stressors acting on pilots during professional activity are considered and analyzed. An explanation of the psychological mechanisms (aggression, irritability, dogmatism and frustration) that may be involved in trying to cope with a stressful situation. Conclusions: The practical importance for further research in improving the training of future pilots of civil aviation to reduce the impact of the human factor on flight safety was substantiated, as evidenced by the direct impact of stressors on flight safety and the number of extreme flight situations.

Introduction. An essential feature of the professional activity of pilots of civil aviation aircraft is the high intensity of work due to pronounced emotional, intellectual, and sensory loads, unique work modes. The study aims to assess the intensity of work and the prevalence of factors affecting fatigue among civil aviation pilots according to an anonymous online questionnaire. Materials and methods. Experts surveyed 667 members of the flight crews in remote anonymous online questioning. We developed the questionnaires under the criteria for assessing the intensity of work, assessing the risk factors for fatigue development according to the ICAO recommendations, and analyzing the pilot's activity algorithm. The researchers used descriptive statistical methods to analyze the survey data. Results. The working conditions of pilots according to 7 indicators of tension correspond to class 3.2: a high level of intellectual loads (72-100% of pilots), a large number of overlapping time zones (18%), the maximum duration of concentrated observation (70.7%), a high density of signals and messages (29.9%), a significant number of objects of simultaneous observation (18.9%), a high degree of risk to one's own life and responsibility for the safety of others (98%), as well as a rough working day (79%). According to the totality of indicators, the general class of labor intensity corresponds to the highest degree (class 3.3). The factors affecting the fatigue of pilots include rare rest between flights (44.6% of respondents), intermittent sleep (59.9%), not always a full sleep before the night flight shift (85.9%). According to the survey results, the share of pilots who have spontaneous sleep during the flight is 74.3%, and frequently delayed reaction to usual, non - standard, or extreme stimuli and signals is 12.3%. Conclusions. The obtained data of the questionnaire survey confirm the results of psychophysiological studies that have shown that the level of the labor intensity of pilots is "super-intense or extreme." Therefore, considering the prevalence of factors affecting fatigue among the crew members, and based on the understanding of the fundamental problems noted by the pilots, it is necessary to develop measures and management solutions to minimize the risk factors for fatigue development.

Abstract. Prevalence and clinical significance of electrocardiography findings was studied in 1189 older pilots in aged 55 years and older, who were consistently admitted to the Central Civil Aviation Hospital (Moscow) and examined on the regular bases. Resting 12-lead electrocardiogram was recorded in all subjects according to generally accepted methods. Normal electrocardiogram was found in 78,5% of older pilots. None of the examined showed signs of myocardial infarction. Minor electrocardiogram abnormalities was registered in 21,5% of pilots. Cardiac conduction disorders were predominated 16,1% of cases, most of them were intraventricular conduction disorders 13,7% of cases. Another electrocardiogram abnormalities were less common 4% of cases. Mixed electrocardiogram abnormalities were noted in a small number of observations in 1,4% of individuals. Thus, older civil aviation pilots are characterized a lower frequency of majority electrocardiogram deviations compared to a population of the same age. The evaluation of fitness to flight in some electrocardiogram deviations is depend of the presence or absence of cardiovascular disease, functional condition of the cardiovascular system and the data of additional examination methods. On the whole, the electrocardiogram use as a screening in asymptomatic individuals has some significant limitations - a number of detected abnormalities may be normal variants, as well as a normal electrocardiogram may be in significant narrowing of the coronary artery. Nevertheless, the need for electrocardiogram recording is recognized by aeromedical specialists of different countries, since this method is exclude a number of pathological changes, which are significant for flight safety.

Security Standards

The implementation of international and national civil aviation must refer to applicable international and national legal norms to ensure the safety of passengers, flight crew, aircraft, and goods transported. To meet safety and security standards, each country must regulate flight security programs that refer to the regulations of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). Indonesia and the UK must meet these standards in dealing with perpetrators of air rage. Indonesia and the United Kingdom are the countries that participated in the ratification of the Convention on Offices and Certain Other Acts Committed on Board Aircraft, commonly called The Tokyo Convention 1963. Both countries have a legal obligation to implement the convention in their national law. A distinctive feature between Indonesia and the United Kingdom makes the implementation of the Tokyo Convention 1963 in that country different but still has the same goal of ensuring flight safety and security.

Main Factor

It is substantiated that the main factor explaining the impact of "front-line" aviation operators on the interaction of ICAO flight safety concept components is their "attitude to dangerous activities or conditions". To this “attitude” is assigned a preference system based on indicators and characteristics of professional activity. Based on ICAO recommendations and statistics on accidents and serious incidents during the organization of air traffic, a spectrum of n = 21 characteristic errors of air traffic controllers was formed, which most fully and comprehensively illustrates their erroneous decisions. Focusing on the linguistic indicators of ICAO to determine the levels of frequency and danger of adverse events, it is reasonable to carry out their defuzzification by using weighted error significance factors to determine individual and group preference systems. The coefficients are determined at the fifth iteration of the application of the mathematical method of prioritization. m=37 of professional air traffic controllers were involved in the experiment. To summarize their opinions regarding the frequency and danger of errors, a multiplicative approach was implemented, in contrast to the additive approach, more accurate results are obtained. The group systems of preferences of the tested air traffic controllers were constructed in terms of the frequency and dangers of characteristic errors that do not coincide. Indistinguishability indicator was introduced. It is found that its value for the study of the frequency of errors in the group system of advantages is equal to the value  R*LF= 1,23·10-2, and for the analysis of the risks of errors - three times worse and equalR*LD= 3,77·10-2. An integrative (holistic) indicator of the significance of each error summarizes its coefficients of significance for the frequency and hazard indicators and is multiplicative. Which made it possible to build the ultimate group benefits system. The degree of indistinction of the significance of errors in it is equalR*g = 0,91·10-2, which testifies to the effectiveness of the proposed approach to the implementation of the recommendations of ICAO on the consideration in the processes of safety management of the frequency of flights and from the top of adverse events. It is proposed to use the obtained results to create a methodology for analyzing the “event tree” in flight safety management systems.

The Impact

In preparing this article the author has set out to substantiate the thesis about the multifaceted phenomenon of the President of Ukraine as a phenomenon of state and legal reality, which necessarily requires enrichment of the content of the same concept. The analysis of scientists’ judgments revealing the content of the concept under study, gives grounds to conclude that the President of Ukraine is a complex socio-legal phenomenon, and therefore a comprehensive picture of this phenomenon can be obtained only as a result of its multifaceted consideration: - from the point of view of the theory of the mechanism of the state, the President of Ukraine is an important element of the state apparatus - a single, elected, supreme body of the state, which has general competence. This aspect is somewhat contradictory regarding that state bodies are usually established as legal entities that cannot be said about the head of the Ukrainian state; - in terms of a certain constitutional and legal status he/she is the head of the state and acts on its behalf. A significant clarification of this judgment is the thesis about the President of Ukraine as a legal form of the head of state, who is elected by the people and receives power for a fixed term by delegation. As for the recognition of his/her highest official, we consider the relevant judgment to some extent conditional and evaluative, because in the national legal doctrine and current legislation the issue of the hierarchical system of officials in Ukraine is not yet developed; - from the point of view of ontology (of his/her being, existence) the President of Ukraine is an individual who has reached at least 35 years of age. A significant shortcoming of the current legislation is a rather limited, in our opinion, set of requirements for a candidate for this elected position, and in the future, in case of winning the election, describe the current head of state. The legislator did not envisage as a condition for the emergence of constitutional and legal relations, within which a citizen of Ukraine can be elected President of Ukraine, or the fact of higher education (in epistemological terms, the President of Ukraine must be an active subject of knowledge, because it is cognitive capabilities provide him/her to gain higher education; it should be noted that the President is both an object of knowledge of the social sciences, most of which study the impact of this institution on various social processes and are designed to increase its effectiveness in a constantly changing environment. At the same time some them (history, history of the state and law) explore his/her personality, achievements, personal role in society, neither he/she has significant experience of professional activity, nor the recognition of a high level of his/her competence as a professional in general, nor he/she has high moral qualities; - in terms of the system of constitutional law the President of Ukraine is a constitutional and legal institution, the rules of which determine: 1) the place and role of the head of state in the state mechanism and its relationship with other state bodies; 2) the procedure for substituting this position; 3) functions and powers of the head of state; 4) his/her responsibility for treason or other crime; - in terms of doctrine and practice of public administration, the head of state is one of the most im-portant elements of the modern system of public administration. He/she converges large volumes of infor-mation flows from other elements of this system. Analysis of information, development of management decisions and control over their implementation - these are the main President’s functions in this system; - in terms of the attitude to this constitutional and legal institution and the personality of the head of state by society and government institutions, the President of Ukraine is an honorary title protected by law and retained for his/her life, unless the President of Ukraine was removed from office by impeachment.

Nowadays we can get anywhere in the world. The success of civil aviation became possible thanks to flight safety improvement. However, flight safety performance indicators are still low. This is because the ensuring flight safety is largely due to the peculiarities of the impact of socio-cultural factors in different regions. The article is noted that flights are performed by humans with the help of technical means, but it is important to establish anthropological and socio-cultural factors that influence human decision-making. But during the process of communication between the representatives of technocratic and traditionalist societies, misunderstandings, differences of interpretations keep arising. These differences in interpretations are the result of socio-cultural differences. In a traditionalist society; the priority of the senior in status has an unconditional priority over the impersonal universalism of the instructions and norms. From the standpoint of technocratic thinking, the requirements of mechanisms, technical systems and norms have unconditional priority over human orders. But from the standpoint of the traditionalist world view the system of interpersonal relations the dominant are the attitudes and demands of the person, senior in status. Independent, analytical thinking can free a person from the unconditional recognition of the authority of the senior in status.

Introduction. We present the study results of pilots of different age groups about the role of campaign policies in ensuring the safety of flights, health, and social well-being of pilots. The study aims to learn the ideas of civil aviation pilots of different age groups about the role of campaign policies in ensuring flight safety. Materials and methods. The researchers used the following methods as empirical research methods: focus group method, content analysis of pilots' statements, frequency analysis method, implemented in the SPSS-20 program. Results. According to the frequency analysis results, we identified adverse factors of the labor process that negatively affect flight safety. Of these, the most damaging factors of labor activity are: a violation of the elements and features of the organizational, legal and material, and economic management subsystems (organizational characteristics) - 97.5% of respondents; infringement of the work and rest regime of civil aviation pilots - 100% of respondents; stress in the workplace - 92.5% of respondents; poor-quality training - 77.5%; manipulation of wages - 77%. Conclusions. The analysis of the obtained results allows us to conclude that the management policy of the organization and personnel is a crucial factor determining flight safety, a high level of motivation to work, productivity, and health of pilots.

Hygienic studies have shown in the cockpit of aircraft and helicopters of crew equivalent levels of sound and vibration in most cases to exceed the maximum permissible levels. There was an exhaustion of the labor process of flight crew members (FCM) due to the high intellectual, sensory, emotional loads caused by the elevated responsibility for safety. The assessment of working conditions of the flight crew can be attributed to their class 3.1-3.4 (harmful working conditions). The clinical and audiological picture showed hearing loss in all subjects to be chronic, bilateral, sensorineural type, slowly progressive, without general somatic pathology, which could lead to hearing loss. The excess of the total physical component of the health-related quality of life (HRQL) over the total psychological component was identified in FCM. The values of the mental health and life activity scores of HRQL were found to be lower than in the comparison group. Evaluation of the psychoemotional status of FCM revealed the adaptive type of attitude to the disease, the lack of social frustration and personality traits predisposing to the development of neurosis and reflecting neurotic changes. The further longitudinal studies are needed to clarify identified socio-psychological characteristics of patients and to develop effective measures of psychosocial and medical rehabilitation that improve the HRQL of the FCM affected by the impact of industrial noise.
