The thesis addresses the issue of hypoxia in general aviation, as it can jeopardize flight safety. In the field of general aviation, there is no prescribed practical training for recognizing and responding to hypoxia. We conducted a review of regulations and legislation related to this topic and presented the theoretical foundations of the subject area. Based on the reviewed research and activities carried out in this field, we designed a training program that enables general aviation pilots to experience the effects of hypoxia on their performance. As part of the training program, participants perform exercises on a flight simulator in an altitude chamber environment. We presented the equipment required to implement the training program and prepared guidelines for health protection during its execution, as well as standards for simulating atmospheric conditions in the altitude chamber. The training program consists of three exercises, prepared for implementation and evaluation on the flight simulator. With the designed program, participants are shown the impact of hypoxia on their performance during flight. This includes flight data collection, subsequent processing, and graphical presentation of the results. Two exercises were carried out and analysed under normal atmospheric conditions.
