METHOD FOR PREDICTIVE CONTROL OF THE FUNCTIONAL RELIABILITY OF A HELICOPTER PILOT WHEN APPLYING NIGHT VISION GOGGLES Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC A61B5/103 A61B5/107 

FIELD: training.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of engineering psychology and ergonomics. For the duration of one day of simulator-based training, the same exercise is performed applying night vision goggles and not applying night vision goggles. Herewith, no later than one minute before the start of the exercise and no later than one minute after the completion thereof, the following values are recorded for the pilot: pulse rate before the start of the exercise applying night vision goggles (A01) and not applying night vision goggles (A02), breathing rate before the start of the exercise applying night vision goggles (B01) and not applying night vision goggles (B02), pulse rate after completion of the exercise applying night vision goggles (A11) and not applying night vision goggles (A12), breathing rate after completion of the exercise applying night vision goggles (B11) and not applying night vision goggles (B12); the values C1 = A11/A01 + B11/B01; C2 = A12/A02 + B12/B02 are calculated based on the findings. Based on the ratio thereof C = C1/C2, the functional reliability of the pilot is estimated. If C is below 1, then the functional reliability of the pilot during the exercise applying night vision goggles is satisfactory. Otherwise, the functional reliability of the pilot during the exercise applying night vision goggles is unsatisfactory and the pilot should train in performing the exercise.

EFFECT: possibility of predictive control of the functional reliability of a helicopter pilot when applying night vision goggles.
