Should be no problems as long as you do a factual report on your experiences. After all post about positive experiences are not removed either.
well just lemme tell you a true story about NAC then.
one nice summer day in 2003, there was one of the good flightinstructors (not sure about his name maybe david, but he is native british and now married to heather , who is (was) as well an instructor there) he was flying with a student in a warrior or a cherokee (fixed gear) ... well on the approach to RNW 5 at KAPF they LOST their gear and the instructor need to perform a belly landing with his student siting right next to him. well u might say, ok !!!! happen ... but within the same week he had 2 engine failures though. as i first heard that story, i was like :wtf this canīt be real ... but after a while i met david on 5th av. in a bar . he was working there behind the desk. as i walked up to him he told me that he quit working for NAC because of their behavior/treatment īn stuff like that and gave me a little closer look to whats going on there behind :/
i flew in KAPF more or less 200 hours now ( hour building , sightseeing etc) and you all mentioned their good and "well maintained" a/c .... well .... WHAT WELL MAINTAINED A/Cīs PLEASE ? they have their own maintainance ( they īre not using london aviationīs or prime planeīs maintainance ) so basically the owner decides if a plane is good to fly or not ( doesnīt matter if the plane is airworthy or not ) believe it or not , but the only guy from their maintainance team is that one avionics guy ( forgot his name) but he seems to do a propper job there. anything else i.e. if it come to 100 h inspection ... well forget about that quick. (sad but true)
the next thing is the threatment with customers. well if you already know quite a bit about whats going on in aviation they donīt touch you . BUT if you īre clueless theyīll suck you dry . the !!!! is , most foreigners go there with M1 or whatever visum , using the I20 from the school. so once you discover that they rip you off, they donīt let you change schools because they tell you : hey you little german punk, train here or get the
lost , because YOUR VISUM IS BOUND TO THIS SCHOOL. so you go , ok ...another lesson in life ...
if you try to talk to a instructor about your little problems theyīll tell you . ( because they are forced to tell you that ) : we are not allowed to discuss those things with you, talk to the management ....
about the good things :
the wellesly inn is kinda cheap during summer, cause NAC has a kinda special rate for 30 or 33 $US with them .
another good thing is the location. right on the east ramp at KAPF , a lot of parking space available ... so that really is a nice thing.
anything else about naples you can grap online through google , bu be aware of the fact that NOTHING is cheap there
anyway i hope this will help and will not bring up a war ... ( i think i can remember that the NAC owner was posting here under different names some month ago, but the admins got that !!!! sorted though
so thatīs another story ...
p.s. sorry for my bad grammar and english, but iīm just a little german punk ...
