[Use of flying tests for evaluating functional capabilities of pilots]

Psychophysiological parameters of 89 pilots were examined when they performed flight tasks on a trainer under normal and complicated conditions. The experiments helped to reveal a group of test subjects (11.2%) who had low capabilities and made serious errors. The results obtained suggest that psychophysiological examinations during simulated professional activity can be recommended as a method to be used for measuring adaptive and compensatory capabilities of pilots undergoing medical expertise.
