XC Flying in Krushevo

Krushevo offers a world famous flying arena that’s straightforward and friendly for all skill levels. Pilots have access to large grassy launches and wide grassy landing fields in the valley. Potential XC routes include following the mountains north and south or pushing east out on to the flats. Krushevo offers excellent potential for local triangles, out and back flights and long distance missions to the south towards the Greek border. XC conditions are reliable in the summer time with consistent winds and minimal moisture.

Group Size

This clinic offers small group guiding with no more than four pilots for every guide. This allows for effective team flying and a productive learning environment for participating pilots. The guides are highly experienced with thousands of hours of airtime between them. 

Pilot Requirements

Participating pilots should have at least 20 hours of thermalling experience or they need to have completed a 20+ km XC flight in the past. 

Pilots should already have a solid understanding of how to thermal efficiently and gaggle fly with others. The aim of this trip is to apply these skills in order to accomplish new personal bests in XC flying. The professional guides will harness each pilot’s existing skill set and help facilitate efficient team flying across the Macedonian sky.
