Fortunately, one national federation is actively involved in the process, the french one, backed by more than 600 aeroclubs, doing most if not all the Ppl training, 99% of them Registered Facilities (RF).
If nothing is done and RF's will need to convert to ATO's most of them will disappear.
Then there are the instructors, 99% of them coming from a peculiar selection within the system which has worked well over decades.
Instructors are mostly active club members who after decades of experience get the opportunity to share their knowledge.
For that there is a pre entry selection done in Paris, multiple choice questions exam from a PPL databank requiring 80% right answers to pass.
Successful applicants are then directed to the state academy SFACT for a 6 week full immersion training course. Applicant takes 60% of the training cost and french federation 40%. Upon completion they become FI's, the only limitation is that the cannot get paid, no big deal, small aeroclubs rely on volunteer staff, instructors or secretaries and they do a great job. Most of them work elsewhere and join the aeroclubs outside their working hours or on weekends.
The alternative is to go to a private flight school for the course but then there will be no financial subsidy.
Only big aeroclubs have the luxury of hiring few full fledged CPL or ATPL instructors.
If these aeroclubs have to become full fledged ATO's according to the existing system, the whole industry will be upset.
Aercoclubs cannot bear the expense, instructors will have to get a theoretical CPL or ATPL to carry on doing what they have done for years, often decades. And the requirements in terms of staff, paperwork, facilities for RF's to convert will be unbearable.
The result will be that surviving entities will have to rely on fresh 200 hr ATPL students willing to get an FI rating, getting a temporary underpaid job waiting for an airline to hire them.
Then, the existing system has allowed the french to excel in activities such as aerobatics and mountain flying, where experience is what counts, CPL or ATPL are of no use.
Let's hope that RF's will be allowed to become BTO's quickly as quickly as possible, or General Aviation will be wiped out, let's thank the french who are the driving force for this implementatiuon.
