Narrative:
A dangerous situation exists at ack; nantucket memorial airport. The ramp area controlled by the FBO is highly congested; poorly marked; and uncontrolled. Usually the only directions for parking are received via radio regarding where to park. There are no taxi lines; no follow-me vehicles; and usually no ground guides. Aircraft are parked haphazardly with minimal clearance to taxi past. This condition exists both during arrival and departure. This is the worst ground parking situation in the nation.
