Answers given by 20 civil aviation flyers to a questionnaire enable the authors to suggest a model where emotional, cognitive, and executive aspects of the navigator's flight activity are represented as elements of a spatial structure. The study makes it possible to arrange the above aspects in the order of their significance and to understand their functional place in the practical experience of flyers with a long length of service. The data obtained may be of use in preparation of retraining methods for the flynig personnel who must shift to the work with highly automated equipment.
