"So you could be a paid PPL/FI giving instruction on a Grob (TMG)
-Incidentally the TMG training could also be done at an unlicensed field."
WRONG!
TMG is a JAA rating and can only be taught from a licensed aerodrome as there is no exemption to Article 101 for TMGs.
The PPL/FI can not teach and be remunerated on a TMG. If he was a PPL MGIR, then he could teach on the Grob for a SLMG rating from an aerodrome exempt from Art 101 under the auspices of the BGA. Motor glider instructors claim not to charge!
The three NPPL ratings are SSEP, Microlight and SLMG, not TMG!
The safety argument for microlights not having to use a licensed aerodrome is because the aircraft mass is below 450 Kgs (originally 390) and the quantity of fuel they can carry is restricted.
