Having that in mind, the objective of today’s training institutions in regards ecological sustainability maintenance on the planet consists not only in informing and providing ecological knowledge to students but in forming ecological professional consciousness with them. Main instruments of ecological perception are ecological knowledge and ecological culture. Ecological consciousness is a fixed complex of dogmas and knowledge, which reflect relationship between human society and nature and determine functionality of its constituent elements in accordance with demands and potentialities of nature and society. Ecological professional consciousness is formed through integration of ecological consciousness and professional consciousness. Authors of the article consider that higher professional educational institutions play an important role in ecological professional consciousness formation of future aviation specialists and are obliged to take today’s ecological call and take an active part in providing necessary ideological and theoretical grounds to form professional individuals with high level of ecological consciousness.
