So why is someone with only a license to fly an airplane not allowed to take
off in a helicopter?

Non sequitur.

On the contrary, it illustrates the fact that a takeoff is not a takeoff. A
takeoff in a helicopter is very different from that in an airplane, which is
one reason why a license to fly the latter is not a license to fly the former.

Babbling nonsense:

"Takeoff is the phase of flight in which an aircraft goes through a
transition from moving along the ground (taxiing) to flying in the air,
usually starting on a runway."


In a powered aircraft, the engine fails, you establish best glide and
look for a place to land.

In a glider, the tow engine fails, you release the tow rope, establish best
glide and look for a place to land.

Yep, totally different.

Look at the best glide performance for the two aircraft and you'll see why.

Your statement was the recovery action was different when in fact, other
than having to release the tow rope, it is identical.

The recovery ACTIONS taken have nothing to do with relative glide performance.

Whatever the aircraft is, and whatever the best glide speed is, that is the
first action, i.e. establish best glide speed.
