title: [The sociomedical problems in the work of flight instructors].
abstract: Study of medicosocial problems of pilot instructors revealed their sufficiently good health status which, however, was liable to decrease because of augmenting stress due to poor social protection and difficulties in the training of young pilots. Early professional aging of this group is obvious; it is caused by deterioration of the health status and by destruction of motivation coupled with the pension policy pursued with regard to military pilots. Pilots engaged in the training of young specialists are in need of sociopsychological monitoring and regular and comprehensive measures aimed at health maintenance and rehabilitation. We consider that at present these problems can hardly be solved because of insufficient attention of the state organizations and governmental structures to the present-day situation in aviation. The authors propose measures for regulating the labor of pilot instructors and prophylactic, therapeutic, and rehabilitation measures aimed at reducing the impact of psychogenic occupational factors.
