Best FSDO for NAC?
Can anyone recommend the most convenient FSDO to get to from Naples?
I can see Miami and Fort Lauderdale are reasonably nearby, any others? Which would be the most convenient one to get to using public transport (if this is possible)? |

Thanks Geez - I have looked at that and emailed NAC (no response.. spose i'll phone).
Hadn't considered the possibility of visiting one on a training flight though. That'd kill a coupla birds with one stone so thanks for that idea. |
Hey Chocks,
I'm at NAC at the moment, and when I arranged to pay a visit to the FSDO back in November, I used the Miami FSDO. I actually arranged to fly there with an instructor, which then allowed me to do my check flight on the return! If you decide to do this you have two options: 1. Land at the airport to the North where there are no landing fees, but a more expensive cab ride to the FAA building, or: 2. Land at Miami Intl (what an experience that was!) and pay the $35 landing/handling fee, then get a short cab ride to the FAA. 5* - would recommed you do it this way. The flight is approx 1.5 hrs each way. All in all, I am told that both cost roughly the same, I chose to fly into Miami Intl as I thought it would look good in my logbook! All the best anyway, may see you around here soon. Cheers Andy |
Thanks Andy, that sound like a great idea. I reckon that's exactly what I'll do. Miami International eh? Talk about in a at the deep end!
I won't be out there till May but will keep an eye out for you in case you're still there. Cheers all. |
Fort Lauderdale
Usually we recommend Fort Lauderdale to our customers.
The FAA office is on the airport right next to the FBO where you will park your plane.Less then a 5 min walk. If you tell the people at Fort Lauderdale Jet center that you have an appointment with the FAA they won't charge you a thing. No parking, handling or landing fee. Tip, fill out the 8710 form beforehand. Cheers :ok: |
