I understand you can use glider hours towards a private pilot license, but can you use motor glider hours toward a glider pilot license?


A glider certificate has 3 endorsements for launch.
Aero tow
Ground launch(winch or auto)
Self launch
Flying a self launch sailplane is a way to get a glider certificate. Then additional training is required to get endorsed for the other launch types.

Unless things have changed, I don't think a student can solo in self-launch under the SSA Group Plan. There may be other options.
