Organisations which take money to carry passengers in aircraft are carrying passengers for money in aircraft, whether or not those passengers happen to jump out of the aircraft and be members of a ‘club’ or a ‘federation’.

Organisations which take money to train pilots are taking money to train pilots, whether or not those trainees happen to be members of a ‘club’ or an ‘association’.
Also, an aircraft is an aircraft, and should be maintained to the same standard, no matter if it has 2 seats or 200. No more "exemptions" just because you can't afford to have your aging Cessna fleet cared for like an Airbus.

And don't even get me started on the "PPL" loophole.
