gliders has their PPL as well. But most of them seem to prefer
soaring :-)

When I get my Glider license, I will be a 'Glider only' pilot. NO PPL.
I asked my local Gliderport about this, and said roughly 'half' had
their PPL. I guess at least I won't have to undo any habits, I'll be
'pure'

John,

I'm curious, if you won't be a private pilot (PPL) what are you going
for - commercial? or going all the way to ATP in one bug jump?

In FAA parlance I suspect you mean you won't be rated ASEL (airplane
single engine land).

That probably leaves you Private Pilot - Glider Aero tow only, and the
proud holder of a Private Pilot License (PPL).

Andy (GY)
started PPL glider and added a few more.

I won't be rated for powered aircraft. PPLG is what I'm going for, you
knew that ;
