The altitude chamber flights as a method of the psychophysiologic training of pilots against stress situations

摘要

The study of literature and aviation incidents during the depressurization of the aircraft cabin in the altitude higher than 12 km. Shows that their serious outcomes are often connected with wrong evaluation of the emergency situation by pilots, making incorrect decision and carrying out inadequate actions. In order to improve psychophysiologic training for stratosphere flights and to increase their safety the authors suggest approbated methods of periodic altitude chamber flights of flying personnel to the altitude of 13.5 km., imitating the stress situation during the depressurization of the cabin and enabling to form adequate algorithm of pilots' behaviour in these conditions.
