The article is devoted to the available directions for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles at the airports. The task of this scientific research was to single out promising directions for the unmanned aerial vehicles use at the airports by analyzing and summarizing information from various sources, expertly justifying the identified directions. The selection of such directions has been carried out by analyzing and summarizing information from various sources. Nowadays there is a fast development of the service provision by unmanned aerial vehicles in different fields of practical activity: security monitoring; transportation of small-sized cargo; visual, spectral and thermal inspection of structures; monitoring of linear network infrastructure; photography and mapping; introduction of agricultural fertilizers and chemicals; atmospheric research. The method of expert evaluations has been used, expert judgments have been checked for consistency. Experts evaluated the proposed directions from the point of view of the importance and expediency of using unmanned aerial vehicles in different directions. The identified directions have been expertly substantiated and a system of priorities for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles at the airports has been built.

The article is devoted to the consideration and substantiation of the air traffic controllers’ emotional stability formation model. The components of the air traffic controllers’ emotional stability formation model have been identified on the basis of numerous scientific studies on emotional stability, its influence on the air traffic controllers’ professional activity, methods of determining and evaluating the emotional state. The conditions for the implementation of this process have been determined. The air traffic controllers’ emotional stability formation model has been represented by the following structural blocks: targeted - the goals and tasks of forming emotional stability are set; informative - the iformative content of the emotional stability components has been determined; organizational - pedagogical conditions and technological components of the emotional stability formation have been revealed; control block – is responsible for determining the level of emotional stability; correction block - according to the control block results, correction, self-correction and prevention of the emotional state have been carried out. The developed air traffic controllers’ emotional stability formation model in case of implementing it in professional training should form: stable motives for choosing a profession; focus on future professional activity; objective self-assessment of professionally significant personality qualities; the ability to work on self-improvement; attitude to active and purposeful actions; adjustment to adequate behavior in the conditions of solving complex professional tasks; the ability to self-regulate a negative emotional state; the state of satisfaction with the choice of profession. At present, the proposed air traffic controllers’ emotional stability formation model has a generalized theoretical nature and needs to be finalized. Futher directions of research are the understanding and substantiation of all components of the model, the possible use of expert methods; refinement of all components, their further structuring; more detailed development of the formation process content; specification of control methods, etc. Key words: air traffic controller, air traffic control, emotional stability, professional training.
