Abstract. The article examines the key aspects that ensure effective piloting, such as spatial orientation and flight image. Modern methods of pilot training including technological solutions and cognitive training are described. Emphasis is placed on the importance of an integrated approach to skill development to enhance flight safety and efficiency. The practical significance of the work lies in the need to constantly update and adapt pilot training programs in light of technological progress and changes in the aviation industry, which will contribute to the creation of a safer and more reliable air traffic control system of the future.

Keywords: spatial orientation, flight image, sensory systems, situational awareness, Euler angles, quaternions, psychophysiology, virtual reality, cognitive skills, flight simulators, stress management.
