E S / A S What makes the piloting profession speci c compared to other professions? - Apart from the common fact that the pilot’s calling implies disciplined work and the continuous upgrading of knowledge, I also see speci city in the fact that a pilot is under constant surveillance during ight. Apart fromair tra c control, we’re alsooverseenby theplanewe’remanaging, whichmemorises large amounts of data during every ight. That data is read and analysed periodically. Do you have a particular ight anecdote that’s remained in yourmemory? -Duringmy rst ight tostart trainingtobecomeacaptain, Imanagedtoannounce thewelcomegreetingtopassengersonthefrequencyofair tra ccontrol inBelgrade, insteadof inthepassengercabin. Ionlyrealisedwhat I’ddoneaftermakingtheannouncement inSerbian, as Iwasdrawingbreathtomaketheannouncement inEnglish.Anddoing so asmy colleagues applauded and commented. Everybody enjoyed it, exceptme. Is it more di cult to handle a plane during the winter months than it is in summer? Is there any di erence and speci c challenge for the pilot in that regard? - Thewinter and summer seasons both have their own speci cities. That’s precisely why simulator preparations and knowledge tests are designed in such away that an airline prepares its pilots for the upcoming season. However, winter months, especially when there is precipitation, aremore challenging for pilots than summermonths. Runways and airport taxiing surfaces are very often contaminated and slippery. It is necessary to de-ice the aircraft, which very often leads to delays. Likewise, we also havemore landings in conditions of low visibility.

PITANJAZA RADOVANA VLAŠIĆA, KAPETANA THREE QUESTIONS FOR CAPTAIN RADOVANVLAŠIĆ 3 Zbog čega je poziv pilota specifičan u odnosu na druge profesije? – Pored opštepoznatog da poziv pilota podrazumeva radnu disciplinu i stalnu nadogradnju znanja, specifičnost vidim i u tome što je pilot u vazdušnom saobraćaju pod stalnimnadzorom. Osim kontrole leta, nadzire nas i avion kojim upravljamo, koji na svakom letu memoriše veliki broj podataka. Ti podaci se periodično očitavaju i analiziraju. Koja anegdota s leta vam je ostala u posebnomsećanju? – Prilikomprvog leta na obuci za kapetana, uspeo samda dobrodošlicu putnicima objavim na frekvenciji kontrole leta u Beogradu umesto u putničkoj kabini. Shvatio sam šta sam uradio tek posle objave na srpskom, dok sam hvatao vazduh za objavu na engleskom. I to po aplauzu i komentarima kolega. Svima je bilo simpatično, osim meni. Dali jetežeupravljatiavionomuzimskimmesecimanego leti? Ima li tu razlike i posebnog izazova za pilota? – I zimska i letnja sezona imaju svoje specifičnosti. Upravo zbog toga, simulatorske pripreme i provere znanja su tako koncipirane da kompanija priprema svoje pilote za nastupajuću sezonu. Ipak, zimski meseci, naročito kada ima padavina, izazovniji su za pilote od letnjih. Piste i aerodromske površine su veoma često kontaminirane i klizave. Potrebno je vršiti odleđivanje aviona, što veoma često dovodi do kašnjenja. Takođe, imamo više sletanja u uslovima niske vidljivosti.
