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.

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%:
