AiR-touch cross-country week in Kruševo 2027
AiR-touch
This week in Kruševo is all about long cross-country flights. Each day starts with a detailed weather and route briefing, and more advanced theory covers flight strategy and line choice. After a joint launch the instructors fly with the group, point out thermals and give everyone individual tips at the evening debrief on improving thermalling efficiency and XC strategy; team flying with in-air coaching is available on request. Kruševo is the main site, weather permitting the group also flies at Treskavec, Sliva and Ohrid, and the retrieve vehicles follow the pilots along the day's route. Groups have six to twelve pilots. Accommodation in Kruševo in 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 radio and travel health insurance with repatriation. The trip runs if the minimum number of participants is reached and can be combined with the following exclusive XC week.

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