It is shown in the paper that sanitary and rehabilitative measures (graded physical exercise, saunas, manual massage with the elements of biodynamic correction of the spinal column, relaxation exercises in the framework of remedial gymnastics, electrotranquilization of the central nervous system, psychosomatic self-regulation, functional music, video programmes, self-massage of biologically active points, specific diet) taken under conditions of drill by command of the flying personnel, tend to lead to lowering of the general morbidity rate (by a factor of 1.7), work losses (by a factor of 1.8), probability of occurring of iatrogenic diseases (by a factor of 1.6), thereby promoting rise in the level of functional efficiency of the pilot and safety of flights.
