Glider PPL (I dont understand this)
As well as doing my fixed wing PPL on warriors, i am starting my glider PPL next week, as long as the weather holds off.
What i dont understand is the fact that you can do your glider PPL on a Grob 109B which is just a single engined aircraft basically. They state that it uses the engine for taxying and climbing and then switcxhes off the engine and glides back down.
What is the difference between this and a warrior. Surely you could just not switch the engine off and then fly around and land it normally like a single engined plane.
What i am trying to ask is, if i did my glider PPL on this why would it not count as a normal PPL due to the fact that it has an engine.
Weird???
