Features of the practice of aviation doctors in medical provision of flights safety

Abstract

Based on the content analysis of legislative and legal acts, as well as official documents of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation in the field of medical provision of flights safety, the features of the professional practice of an aviation doctor in the field of medical provision of flights safety were studied. A comparative analysis of the functional responsibilities and lines of activity of the head of the medical service of the aviation unit and the heads of other services involved in ensuring safety during flight operations is carried out. It was established that, despite the same number of main lines of activity and functional responsibilities, the head of the medical service has a many times more duties that directly affect flight safety. The main focus of the work of an aviation doctor, comprising more than ninety percent of his functional duties, is to ensure flight safety. In order to quantify and qualitatively assess the content of the professional activities of an aviation doctor in the field of medical provision of flights safety, a comparative analysis of the time allotted to the head of the medical service (aviation doctor) was performed to perform the actions prescribed by the governing documents in order to prevent accidents, depending on the stage (period) training and flight operations. It was revealed that the aviation doctor carries out a whole complex of multidirectional activities in the framework of medical support for flight safety in a strictly limited time. It is noted that in modern conditions, in order to successfully resolve issues of medical safety of flights, when training an aviation doctor, it is advisable to place additional emphasis on the formation of mental stability, the necessary psychophysiological and moral-volitional qualities.
