no , naples wasnīt my 1st experience because i did fly in germany before . yes i agree with you that it could be much more worse than NAC especially if we are talking about the a/c conditions . but letīs stay in naples , there are some more schools at KAPF london aviation and eaa . both of them have a bunch of brand new c172 or pa28

The manner in which the school is run together with the relationship between the management and customers is absolutely superb in my view.
well thatīs your impression/oppinion i know by name at least 2 students who had major trouble in 2003 ( one from england and one from nigeria ) both of them switched school after a long hassle . well just to get this right here , i donīt want to harm anyone , and i donīt want to ruin their business, but iīve spent more than 150 days in 2003 in naples and saw a lot. i saw those students sitting outside the school or hanging around at the pool while studiing at the hotel ... talking about those money issus over there at NAC ... i.e. you just finished a XC and the first thing they gave you is the bill . if you donīt pay that day theyīll skip your schedule ... anyway i really would like to help other people to make a good and SAVE decision. during my time in naples i mainly rented c172 or pa28 from other schools. so i donīt go to NAC anymore. during that time i spoke to alot of people working at KAPF ... everyone will tell you the same ! it doesnīt matter if you ask a fuel guy or in the pilot shop ... even the doctor who has his office right around their corner might know whats going on . if everyone keeps telling you things about that place during a period of 2 years , do you think that this isnīt something to be afraid about ? i mean , you guys came for 4 or 6 weeks , doinī ppl , cpl whatever ... in your mind youīve got those old bloody english schools over there in the UK, with outworn airplanes īn stuff like that ... but do you really think that the way NAC is providing their service is the way it has to be ? well maybe thatīs one difference between uk guys and bloody germans
and about that belly landing . well ask around, most of the people living and doing business out there at KAPF know that story. and it wasnīt a student trying to bury their gear into the runway . it was a dual flight and one of the main gear tires fell off in the gulf right in front of RNW 5 approach. the instructor was able to land the ship on the remaining 2nd main and front tire. i donīt know why it wasnīt reported ...maybe he departed A4 and let the wing go down on east ramp ... i really donīt know . all i know ( and thatīs because i talked to that guy who flew that plane ) is that this isnīt a "story" but weīll see , maybe weīll find someone who is able to tell us the truth ...maybe even NAC has the balls to explain what happend ?
cheers
