Ima li razlike između A319/320 i A330, našeg najvećeg aviona? – Dolaze od istog proizvođača, koncepcijski su vrlo slični, razlika je jedino u veličini aviona (A330 je dvostruko duži i širi). Kad ste u vazduhu, nema mnogo razlike, ali je vožnja na zemlji zahtevnija zbog veličine, posebno na užim manevarskim površinama, kao i zbog značajno jačih motora. Da li je zahtevno leteti iznad okeana? – Letenje preko okeana, odnosno velikih vodenih površina, vrlo je izazovno, pa zahteva posebno školovanje i odobrenje. Specifičnost je u tome što su svi potencijalni aerodromi prilično udaljeni, tako da se zahteva detaljno planiranje kako zemaljskih službi u pripremi i odabiru rute kojom će se leteti, tako i letačke posade koja će taj let odraditi. U toku zimske sezone, zbog specifične meteorološke situacije nad Atlantikom, moguće su i jake mlazne struje koje mogu prouzrokovati turbulenciju, kojamože izazvati nelagodu kod putnika, ali ne utiče na bezbednost leta. Kuda biste nas odveli u oktobru? – Moja preporuka za putovanje u ranu jesen je svakako Njujork. Zbog ugodne klime, ali i svega što taj grad, koji, kako kažu, nikada ne spava, ima da pruži. Zato, hajde da ovog oktobra letimo u Veliku jabuku! You pilot Airbus aircraft. Is there a difference between the A319/320 and the A330, Air Serbia’s largest plane? “Giventhat theyare createdby the samemanufacturer, they arevery similar in terms of operational concept and differ only in terms of size (the A330 is twice the length and width). There isn’tmuch of a difference when you’re actually in the air, but operating it on the ground is more demanding due to the size, particularly on narrower manoeuvring surfaces, but also due to the significantlymore powerful engine.” Are transoceanic flights more demanding? “Flying over anocean, or any large body of water, is challenging, which is why it requires special training and approval. It is specific in that all potential airports are pretty far away, so it requires detailed planning, like ground services during preparations and selecting a route to fly, as well as the flight crews that will operate the flight. During the winter season, the specific meteorological situation above the Atlantic makes it possible for strong jet streams to create turbulence, which can cause discomfort for passengers, but doesn’t have a negative impact on flight safety.” Where would you take us in October? “My recommendation for travels during early autumn is certainlyNew York. That’s because of the pleasant climate, but also everything that’s on offer in this city that, as they say, never sleeps. So, let’s fly to the Big Apple this October!” Moja preporuka za putovanje u ranu jesen je svakako Njujork My recommendation for travels during early autumn is certainly New York
