The results of the study of the organism functional status of navy helicopter pilots and navigators in different situations and working conditions of the professional activity (i.e. marine trip, during the preparation and realization of flights at the base airfield) have been analyzed in the process of military professional adaptation. The high physiological “value” of the specific pilots’ labor has been estimated. The technology of organism functional status optimization for helicopter pilots that takes into account psycho-physiological specifity of the professional activity as well as a revealed regularity in organism functional status changes and military professional adaptation has been worked out. That constitutes the sum total of physiologically proved structural and functional components, that is adaptation improvements, correction of the functional state restoration at the base airfield, working out recommendations for ship doctors on flying staff functional status individual correction during marine trip.
