In the presented work the author wants to show some connections of human impact as a subject of the control process of active dynamic systems in the landing an aircraft. In the introduction there are brief definitions of concepts such as active system, entropy, preference, subjective analysis and dynamic system. Some literature items on theoretical considerations on the problem of quantitative assessment of human traits influencing the control of an active dynamic system were also cited. Based on the maximum entropy principle of Edwin Thompson JAYNES, the interpretation of this principle by Vladimir KASYANOV is used to assess the safety of an active dynamic system. Man as an active and essential element of the decision making system in the control process has a major impact on the proper and safe operation of the operational task. Using some of the principles of statistical mechanics, also using the concept of entropy function formulated by Josiah Willard GIBBS, shows the possibility of assessing the influence of the subject on the control process. The final chapter gives an example of one possible interpretation of a catastrophic air incident using subjective analysis. Finally, conclusions were drawn from the modeling of the influence of the human factor in the process of landing of an aircraft including the drone.
