    We are community dedicated to the safe and efficient enjoyment of Touring Motor Gliders ("TMGs"). We have self-organized and formed a not-for-profit association to promote Touring Motor Gliders. We have chosen the name the Touring Motor Glider Association ("TMGA") and have dedicated this website to support our goals. Our organizational objectives include the following:

    • Exchange information on flight operations, maintenance, and proper care of aircraft
    • Share training scenarios and lessons learned
    • Promote safetyft
    • Share stories from successful flights
    • Support the Soaring Society of American and its missions
    • Plan fly-ins, meetings, and fun contests
    • Help members reduce cost and maximize enjoyment of their aircraft
    • Join SSA, AOPA, and other pilot organizations in lobbying government entities to protect our fair and safe access to airspace and airports

    Generally, membership to this website is free and all of those who become a registered user and will have access to all sections of the website and shall be designated Associate Members. In the future, the TMGA may vote to make the access to certain new sections to specific classes of membership of paid membership. For example, the pages at Secret Stuff and Super Secret Stuff. However, even though all of the key information is available free, formally joining and contributing to the TMGA mission through monetary or service commitments will be appreciated. Current classes of membership are Registered Members, Supporting Members , Platinum Members, and Diamond Members. Donors that achieve Benefactor or Patron status get free Diamond Membership.  Here are some reasons for joining and contributing to the TMGA:

    • Ability to make inputs for the future direction of TMGA.
    • Satisfaction in contributing to better soaring, flying, and safe utilization of TMGs.
