Research On Improving Aviation Flight Crew's Psychomotor Ability At Elementary Stage

This thesis shows a research on improving aviation flight crew's psychomotor ability through physical training at elementary stage by means of literature, experimental comparison and mathematical statistics. In this thesis, two pairs of relationship, that between psychomotor ability and flight skill, and that between physical training and psychomotor ability are confirmed. With the change of various affective facors, experimental teaching is implemented, and through the analysis on variables, aconclusion is drawn as following: after four month training by means of speed ball, net wall, different approach they obtain 9.32% improments in terms of seven elementary psychomotor abilities such as balance beam, swaying locator, and high air rope-way, coordianation of four limbs'movement, speed of arms'movement, wrist-hand speed, finger agility, arm-hand stability, wrist-finger speed, speed control, reaction time, aim and accurate control. This kind of training methods is favor to improve flight crew's psychomotor ability, to ensure them to drive the third generation aircraft, and so competent moder war under the conditions of future hightech.Main research outcomes1. Psychomotor ability is the ability for individual consciousness to control body's movemen and coordination, and is the process from apperceive to reaction and the ability to coordinate. It is mainly composed of the following essential factors: coordianation of four limbs'movement, speed of arms'movement, wrist-hand speed, finger agility, arm-hand stability, wrist-finger speed, speed control, reaction time, aim and accurate control.2. Modern war is a high-tech multidimensional one of land, sea, air, space and electromagnetism, which makes air-control contention more severe, pilots'staying in the air longer and flight intensity higher, especially with the emergence of out-sight attack and accurate hit. With the wide use of the third generation aircrafts, current flight cadets can't meet the needs of high-performance aircrafts interms of psychomotor ability.3. Physical exercise is a effective means to improve crew's psychomotor ability, because more psychomotor ability enables them master complicated flight skill better, which is in favor of air force combat abiity construction.4.New training means , such as speed ball, net wall, different approach vbalance beam, swaying locator, high air rope-way, are better than regular physical training in improving flight crew's psychomotor ability, which has been tested to be way up by 9.32%.
