    Abstract:
    A new method of altitude chamber climbs of flight personnel (for familiarization and training) has been worked out. The aim of this method is to form among aircrew members the skills to recognize hypoxia in flight and to train them in taking practical measures to remove it. This method appeared to be informative: hypoxia awareness was registered after 3-9 minutes of staying at an altitude of 5000-6000 m in 93% of tested persons. The time necessary to carry out such a familiarization climb in an altitude chamber in comparison with a high-altitude test is 2.5-3 times shorter. This method is safe for pilot's health, practicable in the conditions of any military air unit and flying school, and can also be used for the examination of flying personnel health and functional status of their organism.
