[Methodology of medical and psychological analysis of the causes of the pilot's errors]
Abstract:
On the basis of the terms of the concept of "personal factors" the author proposes the methodology for medical and psychological analysis of the causes of the pilots' errors. We consider the basic qualities of the pilot: the needs and motivations, professional readiness for flight, health status and functional capacities, professionally important qualities. The author gives the characteristics of the components of the aviation system, which create prerequisites for the occurrence of the pilots' errors.
