XC camp

OASE XC Plus week in Kruševo 2027

Organizer: OASE Flugschule ↗

OASE Flugschule's week-long cross-country trip to North Macedonia is aimed at pilots who already thermal well, have their first XC flights behind them and handle an EN-B or higher wing. The base is Kruševo, the country's highest town. From the main launch overlooking the Pelagonia plain, where landing fields are everywhere, the group flies routes that mix mountain and flatland flying and aims beyond the 50 km mark; on quieter days relaxed thermal flights are on offer too. A day out at Lake Ohrid is part of the plan: from the western launch above the lakes you can soar the ridge for hours towards Ohrid and back and even top-land. An OASE instructor who knows the area is supported by local guides. Daily weather briefings, detailed site introductions, thermal theory and technique sessions, radio support, XC retrieves with live tracking and all local transport, including a group transfer from Skopje airport, are included, as are seven nights in a double room with breakfast and launch and landing fees; flights, lunches and dinners are extra. Groups are limited to 12 pilots. The trip is recognised as DHV SkyPerformance training and is a good place to fly the 15 km cross-country flight for the B licence.
