First Diamond Brilliance Flight Center Off To Good Start
As ANN reported just over a month ago, Europe-American Aviation
(EAA) opened the first Diamond Brilliance Flight Center in the
United States on June 24th. With the new fleet of Diamond aircraft
and a simulator, the aviation school offers their flight students
to learn with high-end technology.
The changes have already been accepted, as the first students
have passed their checkrides successfully on the new Diamond
aircraft. Carsten Sturm, owner of EAA, spoke to the Naples Airport
Authority Board and introduced them to the major changes at his
business.
“We are very impressed about the major step EAA recently
has taken,” said Ted Soliday, Executive Director of the
Naples Airport.
“We especially welcome the installation of a Level 5
simulator (Flight Training Device) at our airport. It offers better
and more cost efficient training opportunities at the Naples
airport.”
Scott Cameron, a local business man and aircraft owner himself,
is one of the first students who has taken advantage of EAA’s
fleet of factory new aircraft. “It took only very little to
get comfortable with these new aircraft and take full advantage of
the amazing Garmin 1000 technology”.
Mr. Cameron has proven this contention by passing his Instrument
Flight Instructor (CFI-I) checkride on 12th of July, as the first
graduate of the new “Diamond Brilliance Flight
Center.”
Carsten Sturm, owner of EAA is very pleased with current
developments, “We are operating the first Diamond Brilliance
Flight Center of the USA for just six weeks now. The very positive
feedback of students and customers, and even the increase in
business, is far beyond our expectations.”
