I think if you have a glider certificate, you can fly those legally.

Just a usenet opinion though.

You should get some good answers from sailplane pilots here. But if
that fails, you could email these guys:

Don't know anything else about it, but I bet they are
getting a LOT of new (foriegn) customers with this
damn TSA thing shutting down the ASEL foriegn training.

The term TMG (Touring Motor Glider) is new to me. Regardless, you're
question might meet with more response if posted in the
rec.aviation.soaring newsgroup, so I've crossposted this follow up to
include that group.

No. His glider certificate will probably be limited to "Aero Tow Only".
He can get "Self launch" added very easily. I don't know anyplace
in this area that has winch launches, but it is very common in Europe.

That's a terrific idea! Thanks for the link.

In Europe, TMG is a well defined term and a TMG needs a different rating
than just a glider rating with a "mere" self launch endorsement. (It's
even more complex: You can choose between achieving the TMG rating as a
type rating for power pilots and as an additional rating for glider pilots.)

It's well possible that in the USA, a TMG is just another self launching
glider. I don't know. Anyway, I know of one commercial operator of a
Katana Extreme (aka Dimona) in Arizona: http://www.skykingsoaring.com/.
