Who are these guys?

The Heman is now gone. He left for MEM last week to join his friends. AA is now 100% Indian FREE. Now we all know where the GTR is.:rawk:

That's right about the heat. I'm from the South, I should have known better.
 
This post is meant for Lofin and any other current students of AA.

Following this thread has been informational, interesting, and entertaining all at once. Varying opinions have been expressed here- some seeming more credible than others. One issue, however, caught my attention. It seemed to me that no has ever directly refuted the statement that AA has "only 1 full time instructor (and other part timers) and no full time MEI." As a student pilot wanting the real scoop on this school I was hoping someone could either dispute, correct or clarify the truth of this issue. This is afterall (in my opinion) a very serious accusation.
 
I haven't flown with AccessibleAviation, but Mr Nuzzo was one of my simulator instructors when I was going through USAF pilot training at Columbus!

A good dude, and I'm sure runs a great training operation.

I think the best question that you can ask is:

"Out of all of the students that started at Accessible Aviation in 2007 with intentions of starting at pre-ppl to finishing up to CSEL/CMEL, how many actually finished there?"

If you can get a number there and an honest answer to this very simple question, then the next question should be:

"What the heck happened there? Why did so many people leave without finishing?"

Here is the thing, Accessible has been around for several years now and there have been quite a few people that have tried using them to get their ratings. However, why is it that there have not been any real training blogs on the forum or people that have provided their experiences? There have been a few of them, but for the few that are there, there appears to be some controversy and angst going on there that the full story just doesn't appear to be obtainable from reading the posts here.

Hope these questions help you in your decision making. :D
 
Accessible has had over 100 students get their Private license, many on the USAF contract but many others were private individuals. Of all the US Instrument and Commercial students who started training, only2 or 3 did not finish. They ran out of funds for personal reasons or had other problems We had several students last year get their Instrument and Commercial ratings in the 90 day period, or a little over. The only real problem children, such as "Captain" were the Indian students who had severe cutural and language problems. We have never had a Part 141 student who wasn't ready for the check ride in less than 40 hours. The Indians took 30-60 hours to solo. I had to put "Captain" on dual only status after 150 hours of training because he couldn't handle crosswinds a 20 hour student could handle. The other Indians simply did not progress. I had to put them to the back of the line to avoid slowing down the new US students who came in. Anyway, the Indians are gone, we have 2 Senecas, and enough instructors to keep the students busy.
We are oriented towards the Instrument and Commercial , students, and do this training on the "second shift" in the evenings so students get night X-C time. We take a smaller number of students so we can get them quality training at a rapid pace, usually 4 hours of training, either classroom and/or flying in one day. In the multi-engine cross country phase 6-8 hour trips to Class B airports are the norm.
You will notice, other than the Indians, our students seem to be happy with the quality of our training.
BTW, I suspect "Chewy" is a flight instructor with another school.
If you want personalized instruction with instructors with over 1000 hours who teach because they like it, Accessible Aviation is the place for you.
 
Well done Chewie!! You posed real questions and I don't think you got any real answers!!


Military pilots who are funded by the government to attend privately owned flight schools usually only have to obtain 25 hours at the school. The students may proceed on with their ppl at their own expense, but most don't. This is money maker for these types of flight schools.
 
Carl,

Does your school offer an accelerated program for former Army RW pilots who already have their CIH rating? FSA has one where I can complete my CME ratings in approximately 9 weeks. In my case, I want to make the most out my terminal leave next year upon my retirement using the current or future GI Bill. I have over 3000 hours RW with zero FW.

Thanks, Rob

Correction: should have said: "We have never had a Part 141 student who wasn't ready for the check ride in more than 40 hours" or, they were all ready in less than 40 hours. Dammit Jim, I'm a pilot not an English major.

BTW, until about 18 months ago the USAF pilots HAD to get their PPL, the USAF would pay for up to 50 hours.

i m good but i m hemant not hemunt.. carl doesn't even know the spelling of his first indian student name. which he pissed off like HELL.....

BUT I CAN PROVE IT.. if he know how run business all six indian students & few american student would hav not left the school.. the only reason for that was their was no flying & they pissed of from carl's behavior...

somebody explain me as per carl he has some agreement with his airplane insurance company that he can't give solo students before 25 hrs.. so even i got my solo in 30 hrs , bcoz after 20 hrs only he started working on my solo.. how can somebody be ready for chk ride in 40 hrs.. and as he told me various time that average americans get 60- 70hrs for private licence..
