The article analyzes statistical information on air transportation growth and the number of aviation incidents over the last 10 years against the present global challenges for development of the world civil aviation. The growth of air transportation intensity draws special attention to danger decrease by reduction of “a human factor” influence. The statistical data analysis of all Russian aircraft types showed that incidents and accidents happened more often to airplanes, including general aviation planes, aerostats, autogyros, ultralight planes. The examples of typical aviation incidents for the last decade connected with the crew’s actions are given. On materials of official investigations, their reasons are analyzed.

It is shown that flight operation safety requires the development of new methods of its assessment, formation of theoretical fundamentals of continuing airworthiness and accidents prevention. A human is the most adapting part of aviation system, but he is the most open for the external impacts that can influence his behavior.

The article describes procedure and results of the experiment in which, by means of laboratory ionomers, the change of oxidizing properties of specially prepared (cleared) water placed in a standard electrochemical cell was registered within a day. It is shown how geo-heliophysical environmental perturbations influence some water properties which are authentically registered in experimental cells. The article concludes that there is their certain influence on a person’s behavior and also on his possible behavior deviations.
