Taking into account influence of pilots and air traffic controllers as "operators of the cutting edge" to the safety of functioning of difficult polyergatic control system «crew-aircraft- environment- air traffic control", it is suggested to evaluate their professional activity taking into account a basic psychological dominant that determines attitude toward a risk, namely: propensity, absence to propensity and indifference to the risk. The feasibility concept is considered basing on positions of flight safety and covers the decision making processes of the aviation operator in the conditions of risk. The theoretical model of criterion function, which defines the practicability-safety of aviation operator, has been developed and substantiated. The possibility of the identification of the principal dominant of pilot’s and air traffic controller’s activity, which is continuous chain of the decisions, has been proved and grounded on the multitude of terms and consequences of the activity.

Key words: aviation operators; human factor; flights safety; decision making; basic dominant of activity; propensity, absence to propensity and indifference to the risk.
