At the present ti-.ttf.,\nthese tests are cond~ted by a medical team headed by a doctor, usualiy a\nwoun.\nA crewmetnber 1a not alloved to fly if he fails the examina·tfon.:•\nThese teats are nov being automated aad will take only l-3 minutes whim the\nprototype equipment becomes operational. Finally, there is a third Approach\nAeroflot 1s using--a prophylactoriWll. Each 111.ljor airport has one, a 3 to\n4 story building set off from the 11141n airport buil~1ngs, .but easily acces-\n!\nsible by foot.\nThese facilities are well landscaped and are designed to provik.\ntotal rest and relaxation for trans1e~t crewaembera.\"\nThey have a lat'te kitcher,\n5\n¢\n3 .,\nI"
