Categories of Motorglider are way too complex - SLMG, Self Launch, TMG, Self Sustain etc........... really there should be just a rating for 'Motorglider', in the old days you could just fly a Motorglider on a CAA PPL - much simpler
Piffle. There is just one category of motorglider - TMG - and you can fly it on a PPL.
