[Health state of civil pilots in conditions of intensified piloting load]

Abstract

Studies of health state of civil pilots working in restrictedly increased piloting hours did not reveal negative influence of increased work loads (90 hours per month and 900 hours per year) on the examinees. In some parameters--medical disqualification due to internal and nervous system disease, transitory disablement morbidity, acute diseases occurrence--reliably positive results were obtained mostly because of increased attention of airline authorities and medical staffers to purposeful prophylactic and rehabilitation work with pilots exposed to intensified piloting load.
