Avoid....go to Florida

Hi Thomas,

I got my PPL there, and can only advise anyone to avoid the place with the proverbial barge pole.

Last I heard from friends who are based on the field, the new AAA still use the same fleet as the old AAA, which was prone to squawk after squawk and in very condition.

There were some great instructors there, but sadly they're paid so little that the good ones eventually get jobs with the airlines (mine did shortly after I got my licence) so there's a high staff turnover, and no consistency with regards standard operating procedures.

Like I said, they're reportedly flying same old tired spam cans and as unprofessional as before. My advise is to pick someone else.
