Under EASA, all training for a licence or rating will have to be conducted at an Approved Training Organisation (ATO) no longer (FTO). There were around 600 RFs however, it is unlikely that there are really more than 300; many will never have notified their demise, change of name etc. The need to obtain approval and submit Operations Manuals, Training Manuals and a Safety Management System will deter all but the large well established schools. The inspection process may also result in a few casualties, costs will inevitably rise whilst student numbers will continue to fall etc. In the longer term the worry is, where will the future commercial instructors come from?
