PRIZNANJE AMBASADE UAE ZA ER SRBIJU
Ambasada Ujedinjenih Arapskih Emirata u Srbiji obeleži- la je na svečanosti u beogradskom hotelu Hajat 47. go- dišnjicu osnivanja Emirata i 100. godišnjicu rođenja prvog predsednika Ujedinjenih Arapskih Emirata, šeika Zajeda bin Sultana el Nahjana. Tom prilikom podeljene su i nagra- de institucijama i kompanijama, među kojima je i Er Srbija. Nagradu je komercijalnoj direktorki Dragani Frantov Nikolić uručio ambasador UAE u Beogradu Mubarak el Daheri. Er Srbiju je na svečanosti predstavljao i Goran Grozdanić, di- rektor Letačke operative.
Zbog čega je poziv pilota specifičan u odnosu na druge profesije? – Pored opštepoznatog da poziv pilota podrazumeva radnu discipli- nu i stalnu nadogradnju znanja, specifičnost vidim i u tome što je pilot u vazdušnom saobraćaju pod stalnim nadzorom. Osim kontrole leta, nad- zire 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 posebnom sećanju? – Prilikom prvog leta na obuci za kapetana, uspeo sam da dobrodoš- licu putnicima objavim na frekvenciji kontrole leta u Beogradu umesto u putničkoj kabini. Shvatio sam šta sam uradio tek posle objave na srp- skom, dok sam hvatao vazduh za objavu na engleskom. I to po aplauzu i komentarima kolega. Svima je bilo simpatično, osim meni. Da li je teže upravljati avionom u zimskim mesecima ne- go leti? Ima li tu razlike i posebnog izazova za pilota?

What makes the piloting profession speci c compared to other professions? - Apart from the common fact that the pilot’s ona, što veoma često dovodi do kaš- njenja. Takođe, imamo više sletanja u uslovima niske vidljivosti. – I zimska i letnja sezona imaju svoje specifič- nosti. Upravo zbog toga, simulatorske pripre- me i provere znanja su tako koncipirane da kompanija priprema svoje pilote za nastu- pajuću sezonu. Ipak, zimski meseci, na- ročito kada ima padavina, izazovniji su za pilote od letnjih. Piste i aerodrom- ske površine su veoma često kontami- nirane i klizave. Potrebno je vršiti odleđivanje avi-

NAGRADA ETIHADU ZA BRIGU O DECI I RODITELJIMA
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 from air tra c control, we’re also overseen by the plane we’re man- aging, which memorises large amounts of data during every ight. That da- ta is read and analysed periodically. Do you have a particular ight anecdote that’s remained in your memory? - During my rst ight to start training to become a captain, I managed to announce the welcome greeting to passengers on the frequency of air tra c control in Belgrade, in- stead of in the passenger cabin. I only realised what I’d done after making the announce- ment in Serbian, as I was drawing breath to make the announcement in English. And do- ing so as my colleagues applauded and commented. Everybody enjoyed it, except me. Is it more di cult to handle a plane during the winter months than it is in sum- mer? Is there any di erence and speci c challenge for the pilot in that regard? - The winter and summer seasons both have their own speci cities. That’s precise- ly why simulator preparations and knowledge tests are designed in such a way that an airline prepares its pilots for the upcoming season. However, winter months, especially when there is precipitation, are more challenging for pilots than summer months. Run- ways 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 have more landings in conditions of low visibility.
