The rapid development of aviation technology entails the need to increase the quality of ergonomic support. This is due to the fact that for the safe implementation of activities, the pilot has to use the entire amount of attention, not rarely, at the limit of his capabilities. The color of the instrument scales, the contrast of the information feed, and other information perception conditions can significantly complicate the evaluation of the flight instrument readings. This is especially true with the transition of most modern aircraft from analog display of instrument readings to digital. The study examines the features of perception of digital information by operators of aviation profile with different color background of the stimulus material. The analysis of the results of the solution by operators of 3 Schulte tables and 3 SchultePlatonov tables on the combined hardware complex NS-Psychotest with the system of fixing the coordinates of the eye-stationary eye tracking RED250mobile eye tracking device. When performing the eye search function, the number of visual fixations and the task completion time were calculated. It was found that when searching for digital values on Schulte tables with a white background, the number of eye fixations was less than when performing a similar task on black-and-red SchultePlatonov tables. Accordingly, it also took less time to solve black-and-white tables. A trend was found showing that the search for digital values represented in the SchultePlatonov tables on a red background was carried out by operators faster than on a black background. Further study of this topic can contribute to the development of proposals for ergonomic support of aircraft, which in turn will help to maintain the reserves of attention of operators in a continuous stream of incoming data (2 figures, 1 table, bibliography: 13 refs).

This study determines the peculiarities of perception of aerobatic information in shaping the horizontal flight concept for operators who do not have experience in simulator training. The skill formation assessment in 10 flights was conducted using time indicators and generalized piloting error calculation based on the task. The program of activity concept shaping is developed using complex sensorimotor reactions at the 3rd stage of flight to increase the attention reserves of operators. The distribution of attention was analyzed when recording the coordinates of eye fixation in the designated visual zones using the mobile oculography system SMI ETG 2 WirelessAnalysPro. The number of eye fixations is established to increase with increased flight experience. Over each flight, the operator spends less time on the perception and evaluation of flight information from a particular device, thus the speed of changing saccadic eye movements increases, and the duration of the fixations themselves decreases. The proposed method of step-by-step flight concept shaping during the performance of the task of the horizontal flight showed high efficiency of developing motor and sensory skills. The development of such modular programs for training take-off and landing may significantly improve the principles of simulator training. The obtained data reveal the peculiarities of aerobatic information perception by operators of complex ergatic systems, with the prospect of increasing the reliability of professional activity of young pilots in the transition to real practical flights.
