laa permit aircraft for tug use

[mydogsprat]

many thanks indeed for all the info. you have all cleared things up a bit for me and things are starting to make sense.
the info i had prior to starting this thread was clearly a dead horse and i shall stop flogging it.

Your son is training at a Gliding site ?

yes

Does he fly Gliders ?

motor glider

If not ? Why not?

With a BGA Glider Pilot Licence ( Bronze With X/C endorsement) already has enough hrs to convert to a NPPL.

thanks for the info

Has he had a CAA medical ?

no

There's no point spending money unless a Class 1 can be acheived.

i will look into it asap, thanks.

I think you need to do more research into how he could achieve his ambition at minimum cost.

doing that now, started this thread to pick all of your brains.

When he's finished his Degree and worked hard to get top grade

predicted 2.1

why not try to get an Airline to sponsor.

or he could learn to ride one of the many pigs that passes overhead

You never Know there maybe a place for him !
