METHODOLOGY OF RESEARCH AND TRAINING IN AIR NAVIGATION SOCIO-TECHNICAL SYSTEM

P urpose : on the basis of professional and non-professional factors formalization, designing of models of decision making by Air Navigation System’s human-operator and flight situation development to work-out the methodology of research and training in Air Navigation Socio-technical System. Methods : systemic analysis, reflexive theory, network planning, decision tree, Markov network, GERT network, neural network, expert method. Results : the Air Navigation System has been presented as a complex Socio-technical System. The influence of the professional factors (knowledge, skills, abilities, experience) as well as the factors of non-professional nature (individual-psychological, psycho-physiological and socio-psychological) on the decision making by Air Navigation System’s human-operator has been defined. Graphical-analytical, deterministic, stochastic, reflexive, neural network models of decision making by Air Navigation System’s human-operator and flight situation development have been obtained. The program complex “Prompt” which operative and timely selection of the optimal flight completion strategy in the unusual situations required a n aircraft forced landing has been created. Methodology of research and training in Air Navigation Socio-technical System has been developed. Discussion : the result of the evaluation of non-professional factors is determination the socio-psychological impact on human-operator’s decision making by identifying the preferences, diagnostics the individual-psychological qualities of human-operator in the development of flight situation, monitoring of the human-operator’s psycho-physiological indicators (emotional state). The proposed models will allow timely diagnosing and predicting the possible actions of human-operator in the expected and unexpected conditions of aircraft operation. The algorithms and methodology for analysis of situation development under influence of decision making by human-operator can be used in other technogenous production.
