Motor Glider Courses
Improve your Gliding Skills or learn to fly powered aircraft
At the BGC we don’t only fly gliders – we also have a Touring Motor Glider (TMG) that we offer to non-members as away of honing skills and gaining new qualifications.
Learn to fly our Motor Glider
If you are a qualified glider pilot holding a Sailplane Pilot Licence (SPL) we can offer you training to learn to fly our touring motor glider as an extension to your licence.
Training for Glider Pilots
We can provide those training towards an SPL with Sailplane exercises in our TMG, for example Navigation and Field Landings.
Learning to Motor Glide
If you currently hold an SPL you can add a TMG Extension. This gives the privileges to fly TMGs equivalent to holding a PPL.
Depending on your previous experience it may be possible to do this in as little as 6 hours total flight training, although it usually takes around 15 hours. This is a massive reduction compared to gaining a licence from scratch and offers glider pilots a much more simple route into powered flying.
To access this training you will need to join us as an NPPL/TMG member, at half the rate of full club membership.

Glider Pilot training in the TMG
Our motor glider is a useful cost effective tool for glider training – even for pilots who have no intention of learning to fly one! We offer a variety of training for glider pilots, from basic aircraft handling to the navigation and field landing aspects of the Sailplane Pilot Licence (SPL).
We can even offer advanced training for glider pilots such as;
- Practical RT For Glider Pilots
- Transiting Controlled Airspace
- Landing at a GA Aerodrome
- Cloud Flying Training For Glider Pilots
