Less of the irony BRL
A quick glance at L2S1's post will tell you that he has only been registered for a month and may not know his way around pprune as well as you with your 1400 posts and 2yrs plus membership.
I'm still getting to grips with the intricacies of pprune.
His was a reasonable request.
L2S1:
I have experience of Naples Air Center not for PPL but I spent a pleasant 2 weeks a year ago doing the FAA/IR.
During that time I came into contact with several Brits at various stages of PPL and they all were very impressed , as was I with the general running of the setup.
The Owners , Richard and his wife Nikki (a Brit herself) were friendly, helpful and welcoming from the start, and have a large fleet of (mostly Cessnas) aircraft.
There are a couple of Warriors and Arrers, thought the latter won't concern your friend.
The area is fabulous: hotel accomodation cheap (the school also has appartments for self catering to rent: I'm too old for that stuff!)
There are bi gairports/small airfields nearby and some amazing eateries.
So while I can say nothing about the myriads of other flying school
s in Florida, NAC deserves serious consideration: they will even fly down to Opaloka near Miami to pick you up and you can log it.
You must read Richards sticky above and follow it to the letter.
Also consider the seasons.
WE went in Feb/March 2002 when the weather was upper 70s but still plenty of IMC for real.(which is what we wanted for IR)
Later in the year is better , but avoid the Hurricane/thunderstorm/high humidity season july-oct.
But most of all tell your friend to go for it.
Safe flying
