I was the the manager for an AF Aero Club for a short while and the issues and challenges on the back end are legion, and cannot be discussed on a public forum. But one key issue that would greatly simplify things for AF Aero Clubs would be to allow individual aero clubs to determin for themselves whether it's worthwhile to operate under the FAA's part 141 requirements. Currently, and since the reg was established, it is required for AF Aero Clubs to operate under the 141 regs. However, for most clubs, part 61 would meet everyone's needs, be a bit simpler and a bit cheaper.
