3) What changes in club policy/procedures were a direct result of this program's implementation?
4) Is there data available that validates the results of the program's implementation?
Unless you are indeed an agent of the AMA, I'm not going to waste time presenting ideas to you for approval because it's evident from these and other pages that you're neither objective nor schooled in professional aviation safety. Suffice to say that the program would be based on ones that are working now in any number of squadrons around the country. The majority is merely policy changes and a willingness to enforce by AMA. Both of those cost nothing in terms of dollars, but they do require courage to act.
So long as they're content letting FAA and the media whitewash them with quantitative data, they'll keep doing what they've been doing. Perhaps at some point, too late perhaps, they'll see the need for a credible aviation safety management system.
