Well, it was a glider once the engine stopped. Nope! It was still an airplane, even though it was gliding, just as motorgliders don't become airplanes when the engine is running; otherwise; you'd need a glider license AND an SEL license to fly it :^) -- Eric Greenwell - Washington State, USA (change ".netto" to ".us" to email me) - "A Guide to Self-Launching Sailplane Operation" https://sites.google.com/site/motorg...ad-the-guide-1

Transport Canada have a more sensible attitude. A motor is considered an alternative launch method. You need a GPL and endorsement from an instructor with SLS experience. JMF

That, in my opinion, makes no sense.
