Well I recieved my replacement licence back a couple of days ago, but all mention of my TMG rating was missing? I sent them an email and got this reply today ...

Dear Mr Manley

Thank you for your email.

TMG ratings are no longer endorsed on UK licences since the transition
to EASA.

The majority of motor gliders are classed as both SLMG and TMG and may
therefore be flown on a valid SLMG rating.

You can find this information on the GINFO aircraft register.

GINFO Database Search | Aircraft Register | Operations and Safety

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require more information.


Kind Regards

Is that right? The standard SLMG rating was always on the UK licence anyway. I had to do a test and pay for my TMG rating. That allowed me to use my TMG hours to keep both my SEP and TMG ratings current. I seem to have lost that privilege??? Surely it can't just be removed from my licence? What happens if I apply for a EASA licence ... will it automatically be added back? This just doesn't seem right to me?
