Naples-based
aviation company survives post-9/11 turbulence
to flourish as pilot school
NAPLES — Manuel Lercher learned all he could about flying in his native Austria.
“It all starts when I was 5 years old,” he said one day after a brief flight at Europe-American Aviation. “My mom said, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ And I said, ‘A pilot.’”
After performing flight simulations and learning the basics of piloting a single-engine aircraft, Lercher’s ground-training with a family friend and private instructor had reached the end of its usefulness.
So he and a friend came to the United States on student visas, found a place to live in Naples and began their in-air flight training at Europe-American Aviation.
It is a common story at the flight school’s two-story office just north of the General Aviation Terminal at Naples Municipal Airport, where about half of owner Carsten Sturm’s students come from overseas. It is stories like Lercher’s that are lending the school powerful word-of-mouth credibility in European countries, as well as helping the business increase 40 percent to 50 percent each year.

Update: Thielert Aircraft Engines (TAE) DA42 situation

Thielert Aircraft Engines (TAE) DA42 situation
UPDATE as of 28th October, 2008
When Thielert Aircraft Engines (TAE) went into insolvency, the company discontinued all guarantees
given to customers regarding prorated Warranty and life limited parts for Thielert engines.
All operators were forced to drastically increase their prices in order to cover these increased operating
costs for the DA42 Twin Star.
In an announcement last week, Thielert reduced some of the current prices (esp. for inspected
gearboxes and clutches) and we are glad to pass these reductions on to our customers. As of October
the 28th, 2008 the price per hour is reduced by more than 5%:

Diamond Simulation achieves certification by the FAA!
Jun/30/07 05:20 Filed in: Diamond
The simulator with a real copy of a DA42 cockpit is manufactured by Diamond Simulation and completes Europe-Americans entire fleet of Diamond Aircraft. The certification was an important step to offer a more flexible and effective training to the students. Implementing a Flight Training Device into the flight instruction gives a lot of advantages to the customers. In this kind of environment a student trains much better then in just a generic one-size-fits-all cockpit. He can master the basics and more importantly train for unusual and dangerous emergency situations. This leads to higher motivation and subsequently to better training results. In addition, as weather is no longer a factor and down time for maintenance is negligible, the training is much more flexible.
Europe-American Aviation notices a remarkable trend for more Multi Engine Training since they became the worldwide first Diamond Brilliance Flight Center in June 2006. “Compared to the last year, I have given more than double the instruction time for Multi Engine training versus that of Single Engine Training” states Bruce Batelaan, Chief Flight Instructor at Europe-American Aviation who also holds a title as Master CFI. Due to the increased demand of Multi Engine Training, Europe-American Aviation just recently enlarged their fleet by adding a third Diamond DA42 Twin Star, in addition to their fleet of 10 Diamond Single engine aircraft!
Diamond DA-40 XL now available for Training and Rental!
More Features are the MT 3-blade composite constant speed prop, AmSafe Inflatable Restraints, Electrically operated rudder pedals as well as a Premium Interior in champagne Leder.
