So AMA's been saying that reason behind 336 was to preserve the hobby. This chart shows that the reason may well have been to reverse a decade long decline in membership revenue. Now it makes much more sense why AMA Government Affairs continues to imply (wrongly per FAA email to me) that membership is required to comply with 336...
