XC camp

Fly with Andy cross-country camp in Kruševo

Organizer: Fly with Andy ↗

This week-long cross-country camp in Kruševo is for pilots who want to get into XC flying as efficiently as possible or improve their existing XC skills. Each day starts with a detailed debrief of the previous day, in which basic XC rules and concepts are taught through concrete flight situations. The group then analyses the day's weather, plans one or more tasks together and heads up to launch. In the air, pilots stay in radio contact with the instructors, who pass on advice on tactics and weather development. Gentle hills and flatlands with landing fields everywhere make relaxed first XC flights possible, while advanced pilots can aim for the Greek border or Lake Prespa 50 km away. There are usually three guides and three drivers on site for retrieves, and theory and briefings are split by level when the group is mixed. Hotel accommodation in a double or twin room with breakfast, briefings and theory, local transport including fuel, retrieves and live tracking are included; a flight from Switzerland or Germany can be added. The camp is held in German.
