AiR-touch thermal and B-licence week in Kruševo 2027

Organizer: AiR-touch ↗

A week in Kruševo for pilots from German A-licence level who want to improve their thermalling technique and start flying cross-country. Two instructors look after a small group: they help with launches, guide pilots into thermals and take them along on their first XC flights. Short theory sessions cover how thermals form, flying technique and XC strategy. The week is well suited to completing the 15 km flight required for the German B licence. Accommodation is in Kruševo itself, five minutes from launch; weather permitting the group also flies at Treskavec, Sliva and Lake Ohrid. Retrieves are organised, so after a short flight you can quickly launch again, and on XC days the vehicles follow the pilots along the day's route. A double room with breakfast, a shared transfer from Skopje airport, local transport, lifts to launch and retrieves are included. You need your own checked and insured equipment, a 2 m band radio and travel health insurance with repatriation. The trip runs if the minimum number of participants is reached.
