Abstract

The cause of many adverse aviation events is the erroneous actions of the flight crew on board the aircraft and aviation personnel performing maintenance of aircraft on the ground. As part of the study, the biotropic effects of fluctuations in non-ionizing radiation, helio-geomagnetic background, electromagnetic radiation, and the surrounding ionosphere were assessed based on changes monitoring in the hydrogen parameter (pH) and redox potential of the aquatic environment in the measurement zone (radius up to 100 m). The indices of the heart rate autonomic regulation were estimated. The circadian rhythms of heart rate variability indicators were studied. It has been shown that the stressful state of the organism, explaining the non-standard behavior and errors of aviation personnel, can also be associated with abrupt changes in the power of electromagnetic radiation in the workers’ environment surrounding their workplaces. It is justified that the effect of electromagnetic radiation on humans occurs through a change in the redox properties of the body’s aquatic environment. Some measures have been developed to prevent erroneous personnel actions and improve flight safety.
