XC camp

Paragliding Academy XC seminar in Kruševo

Organizer: Paragliding Academy ↗

A week-long seminar in Kruševo, North Macedonia, for pilots with first thermal experience who want to start flying cross-country; more experienced pilots get plenty out of it too. From Kruševo pilots fly along ridges and hills and also go cross-country over the flatland below, where thermals often work better. The instructors fly with the group and coach it by radio from the air; each flight is planned together after the weather briefing, and the previous day's flights are analysed in the morning. Site briefings, a radio for each participant, live tracking, launch shuttles, retrieve with a driver after outlandings and XC flights, an equipment check and talks or alternative activities in bad weather are included. Participants can collect flights and training content for the B-licence, including the 15 km cross-country flight. Participants book their own accommodation; the transfer from Skopje airport costs extra.
