As part of the Life Skills program, on September 25, 2024, our school hosted pilot Jovica Mihailović from the helicopter unit of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MUP). As an instructor at the Aviation Academy and a mentor to younger colleagues in the MUP, Pilot Mihailović introduced students to his profession, emphasizing the weight and responsibility of this job, which requires high expertise and continuous professional development.

Fifth-grade students asked numerous questions about helicopter operations, flight methods, speeds, and the involvement of helicopters in rescue operations and firefighting efforts. Pilot Mihailović enhanced his presentation by showing videos from real-life situations, allowing students to gain a better insight into emergency response and the contributions of the helicopter unit to environmental protection.

In a separate workshop with eighth-grade students, Pilot Mihailović discussed aspects of career orientation and pilot training. He also highlighted the importance of this profession in international cooperation for environmental conservation. This visit was an exceptional opportunity for our students to learn about the challenges and beauties of being a pilot, as well as the significance of this profession for society.
