TMG ? Is there any advantage in having a TMG rating on my EASA CPL in addition to my SEP (land) rating ?
No problem with flying a TMG as is included on my EASA SPL along with Self Launch /powered sailplanes.
On a recent visit to the CAA when submitting paper work for a FI renewal I asked for TMG privileges to be included on my EASA CPL on the basis that if it was on one EASA licence it should be on the other.
The reply was NO because the TMG rating was only there because of a recommendation from the BGA . That recommendation , on the basis of over 250 hrs flown on SLMG types mostly Fourniers,
Complained , that there was a loss of privileges when converting my UK ATPL to EASA CPL again NO because I didn't ask for it at the time of conversion – there was no tick in a box – if there was a box.
Do I really need to have that privilege ? My UK ATPL is still current and valid .
