So, your gliding club will let you fly the tug with bare NPPL off gliding experience?
I know gliding experience is very valuable for tuggie post, but I wouldn't put motorglider 10hr-ish training and couple hours on SEP as enough for tugging.
Most BGA clubs require 100TT on SEP
AFAIK. I know it's guidance, not set in stone, but what about the club insurance? Can you be trained dual in Super Cub during actual tows? There are few gliding clubs around Bristol, so can't tell about the fleet.
Chatted with one guy who started as tuggie (different country) at gliding club with maybe 60 hours SEP and he said he sees why the 100hr 'standard' for tugging. He was also glider pilot by the time he did his PPL.
Lastly, why would someone with your job, half share in something nice and sleek, want to work for UK airlines? Each to their own, just wondering.
