Yes, I agree that the current AMA PP rogram is a bust. What I would like to see is a program that can be ''Piloted'' (no pun intended) in some large urban areas to develop the materiels, messages and guidance to encourage local AMA Clubs to sponser a local PP flield.
Don't knowwhat the correct ''carrot or stick'' could be to influence Clubs to take this on. But if just 10 or 20 AMA Clubs took the challenge to sponser a PP fleld it would be great. The only rationalle for the ''large urban areas'' is that there should be larger Clubs with a big enough membership and hopefully resources to take this on.
And I know it's herasy, but AMA membership should not be a requirement to to fly at a PP field as long as the flyer is flying without AMA individual insurance.

I like it, a whole lot. I'm assuming in that you meant "AMA membership should not be a requirement to to fly at a PP field as long as the flyer is flying without AMA
has individual insurance."
Now for the quibbling critique (in my business I don't just seek criticism, I thrive on it), I wouldn't tie it to PP fields as I think the days of the program behind them are shortly numbered. Better to expand the sponsorship to indie flying sites in general.
