Abstract. The article proposes a method for automated high-precision assessment of the danger of approaching aircraft in case of violation of established separation standards on a continuous 100-point scale. The technique is a step-by-step search for the maximum hazard of approaching aircraft from the moment of the beginning of the violation of separation intervals to the end of the conflict situation. The main criterion for assessment is the linear functional dependence of the values of the minimum distances between aircraft, weighted in the established separation standards. A 100-point assessment will allow for the comparison and comparison of potential hazard between different facts of violations of separation standards, the severity of the threats and risks to flight safety contained therein.

Using “perceived hazard” as a reference points allows assessing the level of flight safety even in the absence of violations of separation intervals for the selected reporting period. The analysis of the estimates obtained using the methodology will help to take timely preventive measures to eliminate potential threats even before the occurrence of real aviation events.

It is advisable to use this methodology in solving the tasks of automating the assessment of practical skills of air traffic control personnel and creating an automatic flight safety management system.

Keywords: normalized coordinate system, normalized distance, violation of separation intervals, hazard of convergence, methodology for assessing the hazard of convergence.

Annotation. The article provides statistical data on passenger turnover of air transport in comparison with other types of transport in Russia, as well as flight safety indicators over the last decade. The leading types of events leading to aviation accidents have been identified. It has been revealed that the cause of many of the negative aviation events that have occurred are violations of the functional state, loss of performance and errors of crew members, which are facilitated by the conditions of the person’s environment.

The authors study the variability of heart rhythms, reflecting changes in the psycho-emotional state of a person during noise. The results of the study confirm that a change in the activity of the sympathetic and parasympathetic parts of the autonomic nervous system of the human operator. This indicates the development of stress under the influence of noise.

The authors demonstrate the importance of counteracting the negative effects of noise on aviation personnel to improve flight safety and reduce injuries and propose to use otoprotection with an oxygen-argon gas mixture to concentrate the attention of the crew in extreme situations.

Key words: air transport, aviation accidents, human factor, noise, otoprotection, argon.

Abstract. The article examines the fatigue of flight personnel and members of the air traffic control service as a risk factor affecting flight safety. The proposed software solution based on the random forest method makes it possible to identify the state of fatigue in an aviation specialist after passing a series of tests evaluating a decrease in performance based on existing symptomatic attributes. The introduction of the presented solution into flight safety management systems at aviation enterprises will improve the corresponding reliability indicators of both pilots and air traffic controllers.

Abstract. Summary data on injuries in Russia and at civil aviation enterprises over the years of the current century are presented. Continuous reduction in injury rates has been shown. Significant actual factors of the working environment that contribute to occupational injuries have been statistically identified, one of the main ones being noisy workplaces. Exposure to noise has a negative impact on hearing and the functional state of the central nervous system thus reducing performance, leading to errors, and contributing to injuries. The possibility to counter the noise effects by otoprotection with an argon-oxygen gas mixture has been experimentally confirmed.

Keywords: injuries, noisy workplaces, human factor, civil aviation enterprises, otoprotection, argon.

Abstract. The present paper delves into the challenge of implementing international flight safety standards into the Russian regulatory framework governing the establishment, application, and refinement of aviation safety management systems (SMS) in the civil aviation sector in Russia. It underscores the reliance of SMS regulatory adherence on the Standards and Recommended Practices (SARPs) set forth by the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO). The paper conducts an examination of prevailing discrepancies, indeterminacies, and ambiguities in delineating core terms and concepts within the English and Russian renditions of ICAO SARPs documentation. Furthermore, it offers an evaluation of the implementation hurdles associated with SARPs in regulatory documentation pertaining to civil aviation flight safety in Russia. The deficiencies in the regulatory infrastructure for flight safety in Russia are substantiated. Drawing from practical insights gained in formulating and improving regulatory and methodological support for SMS in prominent Russian airlines, the paper proposes measures to mitigate inaccuracies and uncertainties in the integration of ICAO SARPs editions within the Russian regulatory framework for aviation industry service providers.

Keywords: international standards, regulatory support, implementation, methodological support, aviation safety, risk, factors.

Abstract. The authors propose a method of predicting the probability of occurrence of dangerous gusts of wind in the runway area during landing of an aircraft, based on the use of the distribution of absolute maximum wind gusts during the observation period. The method makes it possible to design an aircraft landing system that allows, depending on the probability of wind gusts, to make various management decisions: permission to land, sending the aircraft on a go-around, or sending it to an alternate airfield.

Keywords: gusts of wind, probabilistic description, flight safety, aircraft, theory of emissions of random processes, recording device on a probing beam.
