REMOTE FORMAT TRENDS IN SELF-EDUCATION OF AVIATION PERSONNEL
2020 has become an indicator in the educational services market. Civil aviation is the industry most affected by the pandemic. Certain failures have occurred in the training of aviation specialists. Due to the low flight hours, the pilots were not able to timely acquire theoretical and practical experience on the basis of in-house training centers. The distance learning format in disciplines adapted to the online version came to the rescue. It is necessary to test distance programs in the context of self-education of aviation education specialists; identify trends in self-education programs for aviation personnel and the effectiveness of their implementation. Scientific novelty is dictated by the time: there is a need to acquire knowledge through centers of additional education, online schools, in an accelerated form to increase knowledge in an unbuilt new educational system that responds to rapid changes, which cannot be predicted on requests for training and in accordance with the requirements of the Federal Air Transport Agency and ICAO. Theoretical novelty lies in the development of a theoretical basis for online learning, practical novelty made it possible to gain practical experience in an unusual, for most, situation. Individual and group programs, lectures, webinars, handouts, journals were developed to monitor changes in the growth of competencies. In the online format, theory and practice gives a good set of practices, because offline learning, although invaluable, online learning is very flexible in responding to changes in the mood of its students. Competition obliges to provide quality material due to the system of feedback on the specific knowledge gained. In this regard, in the course of the research, programs for individual and group requests were developed to test the remote format.
