The problem of flight safety continues to be of great importance in civil aviation, despite today aviation is the safest mode of transport. Particular attention is paid to the human factor, since it has a significant impact on safety. The article analyzes the impact of eye strain caused by displayed flight navigation data on a pilot during landing and discusses how to reduce it. It considers how the pilot interacts with aircraft equipment. The flight data, increasing eye strain, but having no affects on successful landing of the aircraft is specified. The article substantiates the necessity of adaptive display of flight data on the screen during landing. The proposed adaptive method for displaying flight navigation data is supposed to reduce the pilot’s eye strain, which contributes to improved quality of piloting and ensures flight safety.

The role of the “human factor” in aviation is considered primarily as the most important condition affecting the level and state of flight safety of any kind of aircraft. The International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) defines the “human factor” as a priority in the field of flight safety. Reliability and safety of flights are influenced by the quality of preparation of aviation equipment for flight, the quality of manufacturing, assembly, acceptance and preflight tests, the quality of the design of aircraft, engines, the quality of the development of drawings, related technical and operational documentation. It is noted that in any activity the “human factor” is manifested by errors, oversights, and omissions, or miscalculations that a person makes while carrying out his work. In the theory of the “man-machine” relationship, a system is proposed for evaluating the production preparedness and skill of specialists (and in particular, designers) in different operating modes, based on concepts such as “Skill”, “Rule”, “Knowledge". The influence of the “human factor” on the design process is evaluated according to the results of the normative control of design documentation (CD). Conducting normative control of the design documentation is aimed at identifying errors associated with non-compliance with the norms and requirements established by the standards in the developed products; failure to comply with requirements for standardization and unification levels; failure to comply with the requirements for the rational use of restrictive nomenclatures of standardized products, design standards, grades of materials, profiles and sizes of rolled products, etc. The frequency of the repetition of the same errors detected during standard control is analyzed, and the need for periodic repetition of the knowledge of designers is shown. It is noted that the availability of electronic databases, which can be used by computer designers and developers through the computer network of the enterprise and all the specialists who coordinate it, significantly affects the “human factor” in the design process.

During an operational process, activity is implemented through an ordered sequence of certain actions united by a common motive. Actions can be simple or complex. Simple actions cannot be split into elements having independent objectives. Complex actions can be presented in the form of a set of simple actions. If the logical organisation of this set is open, a complex action can be described as an algorithm consisting of simple actions. That means various kinds of operational activities develop from the same simple and typical actions, but in various sequences. Therefore, human error is always generated by a more elementary error of action. Thus, errors of action are the primary parameter that is universal for any kind of activity of an aviation specialist and can serve as a measure for estimating the negative influence of the human factor (HF) on flight safety. Aviation personnel are various groups of experts having various specialisations and working in various areas of civil aviation. It is obvious that their influence on conditions is also unequal and is defined by their degree of interaction with the performance of flights. In this article, the results of an analysis of air incidents will be presented.

Ensuring the safety of the civil aviation system is the main goal of the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) activities and the "human factor" was define as a priority in the field of flight safety. Given the variety of factors potentially affecting human performance, it is not surprising, that human error has been recognized as a major causative factor in virtually all air crashes and accidents since the inception of aviation. The reliability and safety of flights are influenced by: the quality of preparation of aviation equipment for flight, the quality of manufacture, assembly, acceptance, and pre-flight tests, the quality of design of aircraft and engines. The quality of workmanship is confirmed by the execution of control at each stage of manufacture. In any activity, the "human factor" is manifested by mistakes, oversights, and omissions, or miscalculations that a person makes when doing his job under certain conditions. The theory of the occurrence and prevention of errors associated with human physiology and the environment were described by H. Heinrich's "domino theory". Human errors form sequences in which the first error causes a chain of subsequent ones, keeping one of the dominoes standing behind each other, it is possible to prevent the consequences of an accident in the form of material damage or an accident. Human physiological features such as vision can be one of the dominoes and lead to erroneous actions. In the modern world, non-destructive testing methods are relevant and the role of a defectoscopistꞌs in determining the nature of a defect is quite large. Regular monitoring of vision (prophylactic examination) allows you to identify potential vision problems with a specialist, which can lead to erroneous actions. Human factors research is fundamental to understanding the context in which normal, healthy, skilled, well-equipped and reasonably motivated personnel make mistakes, some of which are fatal and, if the causes of human error are correctly understood, it will be possible to develop more effective prevention strategies errors, their control, and safe elimination.

The article analyzes the existing problems that impede the effective safety management of the flights of the air forces of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. As a result, this analysis revealed the contradiction between the need to build a safety management system and the lack of effective mechanisms for assessing the state of the aviation system and taking into account the influence of the human factor of aviation professionals on flight safety. The contradiction identified the need for developing a set of methods to estimate the actual state of the aviation system protection from the effects of threats associated with the human factor of flight personnel. A methodological apparatus was developed for assessing the security status of an aviation system against hazardous factors, which is based on applying a personality-oriented approach to assessing and managing the state of an aviation system. The method of assessing the state of flight safety allows you to quantify the state of protection of the crew-aircraft system from the impact of hazards caused by the personal factor of a particular pilot before the flight and to assess in near real-time the state of protection of the crew-aircraft system during the flight. The method of assessing the state of safety in aviation formation allows you to assess the status of safety during the organization and conduct of flights, taking into account the influence of the human factor of flight personnel in  near real time.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to address the maintenance errors caused by the lack of understanding of maintenance manuals. English is the official language of civil aviation and all relevant maintenance manuals are written in it, but – for 80 per cent of the global maintenance personnel who are using such manuals – English is not their native language. The majority of these users have knowledge of English that is rather limited and they are easily confused by complex sentences and by the number of meanings and synonyms that English words may have. Design/methodology/approach – Scientific analysis of the faulty maintenance tasks to determine the impact of the inability of maintenance personnel to correctly understand maintenance manual written in English. Findings – Analysis of the maintenance processes clearly shows that ineffective communication between system designers and maintenance personnel, through maintenance documentation, is a well-recognised contributor to the occurrence of a faulty maintenance task. Practical implications – Significant improvements in the direction of effective communication and improvement in a quality of maintenance could be achieved by applying Simplified Technical English (ASD-STE100), the benefit of which on the quality of maintenance is presented in this paper. Originality/value – Unique consideration of the quality of maintenance, which is to see it as a function of the comprehension of maintenance manuals written in English.

Abstract Reclamation complexes, the key element of which are bypass canals, are actively used for effective agricultural work. For the development of reclamation canals. as a rule, excavator equipment is used, which subsequently ensures their effective functioning. The analysis of the impact of the efficiency of the functioning of amelioration systems on the agro-industrial complex (AIC) sectors revealed a significant dependence on obtaining high-quality crops or pastures. Factors were identified that reduce the quality of reclamation work. Among them, the indicator of positioning accuracy of the profile of the soil during clearing or arrangement of channels is highlighted as the main one. It was proved that the installation of automated leveling systems will provide technological improvement to the excavator. Modernization of excavators by introducing automatic leveling systems (ALS), allows you to increase the speed and accuracy of work, and therefore productivity. There are three main ALS solutions for excavator operation: ALS 2 D control system; ALS satellite monitoring system; ALS AUTO satellite leveling system. It was determined that for using ALS AUTO, the quality of the work performed does not depend on the human factor. Field tests were carried out at the test site with quality control of the construction embankments with JCB JS 205 excavator modernized with ALS. The data obtained were compared with the results of grading with a JCB JS 205 excavator without ALS. Based on the results of the data analysis, it was found that with the introduction of automatic leveling systems, the productivity of the equipment increases by 200%, and the accuracy of the work performed has increased 2 times.

Maintenance staff fatigue is one of the key factors contributing to the occurrence of errors in the maintenance. The problem of maintenance staff fatigue is a serious challenge for aircraft maintenance organizations, and its solution is directly related to the impact on flight safety. The authors consider the issues of the fatigue effect on the maintenance staff performance and related consequences. The article provides the results of the maintenance staff fatigue research, obtained through a survey of one of the organizations` employees. According to the survey, errors are the most likely outcome of work in a state of fatigue in aircraft maintenance. The obtained results made it necessary to develop a methodology for managing maintenance staff fatigue in aircraft maintenance. The methodology is based on a questionnaire, where the respondents are asked to answer questions regarding their state of fatigue, and fatigue assessment criteria. The assessment results make it possible to develop the necessary corrective and preventive measures, including the privilege limitation and suspension to perform maintenance tasks.

Despite the regular efforts on the part of national regulators, the International Civil Aviation Organization and the International Air Transport Association (ICAO and IATA), as well as on the developers of aeronautical equipment, the vast majority of accidents and incidents continue to occur due to the human factor. With the course of time, aircraft design and reliability are steadily and significantly improving, nevertheless, the number of aviation accidents is happening more and more frequently, including accidents with serviceable aircraft. Considerable evidence is the fact that a Controlled Flight into Terrain (CFIT) remains one of the most common causes of aviation accidents. This is specified by a wide variety of problems that require the search for complex, interconnected solutions. Among these issues it is necessary to highlight the increasing sophistication of the aircraft as a technical system, as well as practically unchanged for more than half a century approaches to pilots training for the type and maintaining their qualifications based on pre-defined scenarios taking into consideration the previous experience of aircraft operation. One of the possible ways out of the situation may be the introduction of so-called concept of personnel training relying on the evidence-based training analysis (EBT) based not on the pursue to memorize a certain list of exercises but to develop each particular pilot’s skills and competences that could help him cope with any unpredictable situation. The key feature of EBT lies in refocusing on the analysis of original causes of unsuccessful maneuvers (actions of the pilot) primarily in order to correct the wrong actions instead of repeatedly complying with the "correct sequence of actions". In this regard, the tools providing a continuous analysis of the pilot's actions to identify errors for the purpose of realigning (forming) the pilot's professional competencies in due time, are of paramount importance. The article describes the content of the methodology representing an ultimate goal to develop recommendations aimed at improving pilot’s expertise based on generalized and personalized models of the pilot, as well as solving the inverse problem of flight dynamics using a comparative assessment of a particular pilot piloting quality.

To ensure the required reliability of electronic regulators, a complex of tests is required, consisting of metrological studies and testing of the operation of control and monitoring algorithms. Metrological studies and calibration are carried out using standard and specialized measuring equipment. To test the control and monitoring algorithms a specialized gas turbine engine simulator with a built-in mathematical model is required. In addition, control and verification equipment and specialized software are needed. The increasing production rates caused by the large market demand in these regulators and the need to ensure reliability lead to a significant increase in labor costs and the time required for testing, which is especially important in batch production. One of the options for reducing labor costs and improving the quality of test scores is the automation of this process. Automation - the highest stage in the development of technology, which is characterized by the implementation of production management and other socially necessary processes without direct participation in them. Increasing the degree of automation of the enterprise leads to an increase in the stability of the technological process, reducing the impact of the human factor, improving the transparency of production, which ultimately positively affects the quality of finished products. The use of automation of the testing process excludes the influence of the human factor, allows for more extensive testing of the operation of the control and monitoring algorithms. When testing time is shortened, the quality and reliability indicators of Element electronic regulators produced by Element JSC are improved. As a result, the estimated effort required to test the operation of the algorithms of one electronic regulator will be reduced by 4-5 times. The main problems in testing modern electronic gas turbine engine (GTE) regulators are described. The possibility of test automation in the mass manufacturing of gas turbine regulators by the example of the electronic regulators of an engine of a family RDTs-450M. Future direction of testing development of had detected.

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.
