First Officer Milan Milošević Three questions for...

Koji je najbolji savet koji ste dobili od sta- rijih kolega kada ste počinjali da letite? – Zaista je mnogo saveta koje sam dobio od sta- rijih, iskusnijih kolega. Verujte da se za svaki sećam od koga sam ga dobio i u kojoj situaciji. Sve te situa- cije me iznova podsećaju na drage ljude koji su zau- zeli svoje mesto u formiranju mene kao pilota. Onaj koji bih izdvojio je sledeći: „Budi onakav čovek kakav bi ti želeo da bude onaj kolega koji sedi pored tebe.“

What was the best piece of advice you re- ceived from an older colleague when you started flying?

“I’ve really received plenty of advice from older, more experienced colleagues. Believe me, I recall from whom I received every piece and in which situations. All these situations again remind me of the dear peo- ple who played their role in shaping me as a pilot. The one I would single out is as follows: “Be the kind of man you’d like to have as the colleague sitting next to you”.

Imate li omiljenu pi- stu i zbog čega vam je omiljena? – Mnogo je lepih desti- nacija na svetu sa pregršt zanimljivih aerodroma, sva- kojakih pista, dugih, kratkih, uskih, širokih, sa nagibom ili bez, ravnih, neravnih, osvet- ljenih ili ne, ali samo jednu pistu bih izdvojio kao omi- ljenu. To je ova u Beogradu, naša, domaća, ne zato što je tehnički opremljena, moder- na i najbolja, možda to i ni- je, ali znam da sletanjem na nju započinjem svoj povra- tak kući.

Do you have a favourite runway and, if so, what makes it your favourite? “There are many beautiful des- tinations around the world, with a bunch of interesting airports, all sorts of runways, long, short, narrow, wide, with or without a slope, flat, une- ven, illuminated or not, but there’s only one runway that I would single out as my favourite. That’s this one in Belgrade, ours, domestic. Not be- cause it’s technically equipped, mod- ern and the best, perhaps it isn’t, but because I know that I begin my re- turn home by landing on it.”

Koje osobine krase dobrog pilota? – Biti pilot nije samo profesija, to je pre svega način življenja, pa tako prve osobine koje bih ista- kao jesu one ljudske. Dobar pilot uživa poverenje svojih kolega, uvek je nasmejan i spreman za šalu, ali u isto vreme na onom nivou ozbiljnosti koji zah- teva izvršenje letačkih dužnosti. Konciznost, odgo- vornost i smirenost su još neke od osobina koje ih krase, ali bih posebno istakao praktičnost, koja se ogleda u odvajanju bitnog od nebitnog, kao i odre- đivanju prioriteta.

Which character traits make a good pilot? “To be a pilot isn’t just a profession, it is first and fore- most a way of life. As such, the first attributes that I’d high- light are human ones. A good pilot enjoys the trust of his colleagues, is always smiling and ready to joke around, but at the same time maintains the level of seriousness de- manded in the performing of flying duties. Conciseness, responsibility and coolness are some of the other defining characteristics, but I would emphasise in particular practi- cality, which is reflected in separating the important from the unimportant, as well as in determining priorities.”
