We had an interesting discussion on linkedin this weekend. All about flight instruction and the idea of turning an experimental into a club plane so an instructor could legally use it to teach the owners to fly. This theory is viable and there is FAA approval to do this.
What I think would really jump start the process is a pre-developed general format. One that would be easy for people to follow in developing their own club and fractional ownership; not much different than the downloads a person can buy to write their own will or start a non profit 401c3 corporation. These always contain several disclaimers and liability waivers just like the ones we used in the old days to teach ultralight flying.
This would help the ultralight pilot and sport pilot want-to-be, as well as the instructor.
The idea of teaching someone to fly in a $14,000 plane with a 582 is not that far fetched. We all know people that have. It seemes like a better option than the $60,000 to $100,000 planes everyone thinks they currently need . When a student becomes a licensed pilot they can transition up.
What this sport needs now is for people to stop focusing on the problem and develope a solution. The ultralight trainer was so successful that it was turned into a sport pilot plane; and that took 20 years.
