Fly Adventure beginner course in Kruševo

Organizer: Fly Adventure Macedonia ↗

A six-day residential course for complete beginners who want to make their first solo flights under an instructor's supervision. Training takes place in Kruševo and the Pelagonija Valley: the first days cover the basics and ground handling on the training field, followed by first flights from the training hill and, towards the end of the week, high flights from the take-off above Kruševo. Flying happens in the morning and late afternoon; the midday break and the evenings are used for theory – aerodynamics, wing construction and meteorology – and flight debriefs. The seven-night package includes full equipment (wing, harness, helmet and reserve), accommodation with breakfast, a packed lunch, an airport transfer (Skopje, Ohrid or Thessaloniki), transport and retrieves during the course and live tracking. The organiser does not state which licence the course leads to; it is a first step into paragliding, not a promise of a licence in a week. The team also sells the same course on its Fly Krushevo and FlyMacedonia websites.
