The article presents and analyses the results of the theoretical and empirical research of psychological readiness of future civil aviation pilots for professional activity, on the basis of which the main content lines of development of psychological readiness for activity at the formative stage of the study were derived. The methodological basis of the empirical study was the author's conceptual model of psychological readiness of student pilots for professional activity, which summarises the views of scientists on understanding the essence of the concept of psychological readiness for professional activity and its structure, taking into account the psychological aspects of the flight activity of a civil aviation pilot and the conditions of such activity. At the ascertaining stage of the study, the following components of psychological readiness and their indicators were identified that require targeted psychocorrective influence at the next formative stage of the study (values of self-development and personal prestige in the profession, orientation of interests in the direction of "Human-Sign System" (motivational component), academic performance (experience component), information processing speed, average attention span, spatial and reproductive thinking (professionally important features of mental processes). The correlation analysis by Spearman's criterion showed the existence of links between the above indicators of psychological readiness components, which will make it possible to conduct joint correctional work. The Programme for the development of psychological readiness of future civil aviation pilots for professional activity provides for psycho-corrective influence on three components of psychological readiness (motivational component, experience component and professionally important features of mental processes) at once, taking into account the presence, nature and level of significance of the relationships between them, as well as the mechanisms of formation of each individual component depending on the degree of social or biological conditionality of its formation. The results of the implementation of such a Programme will be reflected in the following scientific papers.
