A gas turbine engine has a compressor assembly and a turbine assembly rotationally mounted on a shaft, the turbine assembly being driven by hot gases discharged from a combustion chamber disposed between the compressor and turbine assemblies and an engine case encasing a portion of the engine, the case having an oblong bleed hole having a major axis parallel to a gaspath direction and a minor axis perpendicular to the gaspath direction.
