Savremene letelice koje imamo u našoj kompaniji su, zahvaljujući današnjim tehnologijama, toliko sigurne da o turbulenciji razmišljam samo u kontekstu udobnosti putnika i posade. Trudimo se da ih izbegnemo kad god možemo da ne bi bilo prolivenih kafa. Naravno, nekada ih je nemoguće izbeći, pa zato peporučujem svima da poštuju znak obaveznog vezivanja pojasa kad god je uključen. Ukoliko ste vezani, u turbulenciji možete i da uživate, kao u rolerkosteru! Da li više volite sletanje ili poletanje? – Kao profesionalni pilot, poletanju i sletanju posvećujemmaksimalnu pažnju, to su dve kritične faze leta. Iako mnogi misle suprotno, poletanje je rizičnije jer su tada motori na maksimalnoj snazi, a avion je mnogo teži nego pri sletanju zbog količine goriva. Ipak, pri sletanju imamo priliku da pokažemo svu svoju veštinu, pa bih se ipak opredelio za sletanje kao omiljenu fazu leta. Možete li da zamislite život u kojemniste pilot? – Moj dečački san je bio da postanem pilot, zato sebe smatram privilegovanim jer radim ono što volim. S druge strane, vaspitavan sam da šta god da radim, radim to sa ljubavlju. Mislim da bih imao podjednako uspešnu inženjersku karijeru da sam otišao tim putem. Doduše, nisam siguran da bih druge poslove voleo toliko dugo, sa istim žarom, kao što volim ovaj. DEJAN FILIPOVIĆ captain-instructor, Airbus A330 Is turbulence really dangerous or is it just discomforting? "Having spent 15,000 hours in the air, I've experienced varying turbulence and been convinced of the high quality of the aircraft's constructionmany times. Thanks to today's technologies, the modern aircraft that we have in our fleet are so safe that I only consider turbulence in the context of the comfort of both passengers and crew. We try to avoid it whenever we can, so we don't end upwith spilled coffee. Yes, sometimes it's impossible to avoid, which is why I recommend that everyone respects the fasten seat belt sign. As long as you are buckled up in your seat, you can even enjoy the turbulence, the roller coaster ride!" Do you prefer landings or takeoffs? "As a professional pilot, I devotemaximumattention to both takeoff and landing, which are two critical stages of a flight. Although many think it's the opposite, takeoff is actually riskier, because the engines are then using their maximumpower, and the plane ismuch heavier than during landing, due to the amount of fuel. However, when landingwe have a chance to demonstrate all of our skills, so I would still opt for landing asmy favourite stage of a flight." Could you imagine a life inwhich you didn't become a pilot? "My boyhood dreamwas to become a pilot, so I consider myself privileged to be doing that which I love. On the other hand, I was raised to do whatever it is I'mdoingwith love. I think I would have had an equally successful career in engineering if I'd taken that route. Truth be told, I'mnot sure I'd love any other jobs for as long, with the same passion, as I love this one." DEJANA FILIPOVIĆA kapetana instruktora na erbasu A330 Tri pitanja za...
