title: [Simulation of the dynamics of subjective status in an extended flight aboard a single-seat airplane].
abstract: Based on experimental data regarding changes in the subjective status of 29 operators during 12-hr simulation of a flight in a single-seater airplane, individual parameters were determined for a mathematical model of the well-being and anxiety dynamics. The model was devised to reproduce two processes, i.e. the pre-launch reaction and effects of a set of "flight" factors that displayed either exponential or S-form dependence. Analysis showed that the pre-launch reaction was distinctly linked with well-being in 15 individuals and with anxiety in 11 individuals. Well-being in one individual and anxiety in seven individuals did not reveal any regular trend. Standard deviations in the evaluation of well-being and anxiety were within the range of 0.08-0.47 and 0.4-3.3 scores, respectively, that is did not exceed 6-8% of the maximal possible range of variation. On the whole, the mathematical model gave an accurate description of the dynamics of subjective status.
