[Main concepts of preventive health care for the air staff of sea-based aviation].

The authors researched the air-stuff and complex of adverse factors uncharacteristic for the air-staff of land-based aircraft. It was determined that adverse factors affect the air-staff foremost in 4-5 months of a blue-water sailing, except cardiovascular system diseases. In a month of a blue-water sailing was registered a hypotonic state.

[Visual illusions and moving horizon].

Results of psychological "additional investigation" of the crash of Boeing-737, "Aeroflot-Nord" on 14.09.2008 near Perm are presented.

[Psychophysiological aspects of naval aviation pilots of the Navy in the operation of highly carrier-based aircraft].

The authors have shown that the most difficult elements of the flight deck of the ship are springboard takeoff and aerofinishing landing. An important task is to study the aerodynamic characteristics of the behavior of the aircraft during takeoff different characteristics, forming crews ready to act in particular situations. Adverse factors are the operating conditions of habitability of aircraft (noise, vibration, fumes in the air at work, and aircraft engines, etc.

[Peculiarities of research of flying thinking].

New approach to the research of flying thinking is offered. This approach is based on principals of stage-by-stage approach (research of the reflection of every parameter of flight, than its aggregate in figured and conceptual framework), on the usage of the methods of registration of inner and external characteristics of activity of the air staff with the priority of research of content area and mechanisms of flying thinking, typology of content area and mechanisms of flying thinking. This approach is also based on the effectiveness of reflection by means of correlation of the detected figured and conceptual framework with time and correctness of decisions of test flight tasks and with different psychophysiological characteristics.

[About spatial orientation of flying staff in air].

Were learned peculiarities of spatial orientation by altitude of pilots and students in conditions of flying over a sea and on link trainer Yak-40, were educed psychophysiological and psychological mechanisms of perception of altitude. Was effectuated a valuation of existing and possible methods of teaching of effective orientation in air. Was shown, that pilots with different professional rate make faults as well in visual flying as visual detecting of the altitude.
