[Familiarization drills with barochamber ascents for flight personnel as an element in their psychophysiological training for high-altitude flights].

A new method of altitude chamber climbs of flight personnel (for familiarization and training) has been worked out. The aim of this method is to form among aircrew members the skills to recognize hypoxia in flight and to train them in taking practical measures to remove it. This method appeared to be informative: hypoxia awareness was registered after 3-9 minutes of staying at an altitude of 5000-6000 m in 93% of tested persons.

[The possibility for the pilot to recognize hypoxia in a high-altitude flight].

The article studies the possibility of man to self-diagnose the development of hypoxia and take decisive actions on its elimination with the help of flight living facilities. Four variants of hypoxia were modeled at hyperbaric chamber and flight simulator. The differences between these four variants were the following: strength, increase velocity and duration of hypoxia, the level of "notification" about the oxygen conditions for tested persons.
