If you go down that road, the examiner may ask "Is a glider an
airplane?". Then what do you say?

Hmmm - I wonder why he called the glider an airplane? ;-)

I'd have say I don't think it's an airplane, but on the other hand it has
only ever gotten airborne when attached to an engine. So it seems to
satisfy the definition of airplane during aerotow. :-)

Not by a long stretch. (pun intended) :-)


Silliness aside, I'm curious whether the first paragraph I offered was
correct for an airplane. If not, what kind of answer were you expecting.

I think the examiner would be looking for knowledge about associating an
engine with an airplane and then a discussion about, "category, class and
type" may ensue.
