Hi,
Just resurecting this thread on the off chance that more info may now be available a year on. Can't find any official published info, but maybe those in the know, know something?
I have an NPPL(A) with SLMG only and fly a Slingsby T61F Venture.
i have found this from the BGA to assist in classifying the various types of Motor Gliders/Powered Sailplanes:
BGA Proposal
A powered sailplane is a glider equipped with an engine. There are three types
of powered sailplanes:
-
Touring Motor gliders (TMG) which have an integrally mounted,
non-retractable engine and non-retractable propeller …
- Self launched gliders which have a retractable engine or a retractable
propeller and are capable of taking off and climbing under their own power.
When the engine is inoperative, they have the characteristics of a pure
sailplane.
- Self Sustained gliders which must be launched like a pure sailplane not
equipped with an engine, but which can climb slowly to extend a flight once
the engine or the propeller is deployed and started. When the engine is
inoperative, they have the characteristics of a pure sailplane.
I'm wondering if I will have grandfather rights to either an LAPL(A) with TMG rating or an LAPL(S) with TMG rating?
Or do i get to choose which one?
Regards
Kevin
