Investigation with participation of the first- to fourth-year female students of the flight school in Krasnodar had the purpose to ascertain that sizes of the present pilot gear fit modern types of the female body. It was found out that sizes of many female students are below minimal ranges of the pilot gear fit. The quantity of these female students varies from 11 % (anti-g suits) to 100 % (O2 masks). The group of female students was actually representative of the women of the same age in this country. We conclude that the existing misses' sizes do not fit the anthropometric parameters of female candidates for flight training. To sum up, there is need to revise the size ranges of the flight gear with consideration of modern types of the female body.
