At the present time flight safety can be provided only if aviation medicine requirements are taken into consideration. Maintenance of good health, high performance and professional longevity of the flight and ground crewmen requires that flight surgeons and aerospace medicine specialists revise their position and eliminate various shortcomings in their work. Those latter include: lack of data about correlations between health problems and decline of performance, risk factors and professional longevity; inadequate use of systemic analysis for evaluating man-machine interactions; low priority of the investigations needed to organize proper prophylaxis of diseases. The paper discusses proposals and suggestions with respect to the new types and methods of medical support of flight safety at the current and advanced levels of development of aviation technology. |
