EVALUATION OF COMMUNICATION TYPES IN AVIATION

Abstract

The article deals with the issue of communication types, their knowledge and their importance in aviation as well as in other parts of life. All people react to outer circumstances in a different way. At the same time, we all do not communicate in the same way, because our inner life is different too. Based on that, at the Faculty of Aviation we were investigating the dominance of communication types by means of a questionnaire survey, in the scope of the study programmes Professional pilot, Air traffic controller and Air traffic management. The questionnaire was designed to identify the dominant communication type of the studied individual. Four types of dominant communication types were compared across selected study fields, i.e. emotional, rational, acoustic and visual. The results show that a rational communication type prevails in the group of students of professional pilot and air traffic control field.
