How did you go through all your training without ever stopping at a
controlled airport?

Hi Yossarian,

All my training at controlled airports were touch and goes. My first
"full stop" was after I got my pilot's license. The reason I put this
in, was that I had to ask for progressive taxi instructions.

Not that I'm trying to make life difficult, but:

§ 61.109 Aeronautical experience.

(5) 10 hours of solo flight time in a single-engine airplane,
consisting of at least --

(iii) Three takeoffs and three landings to a full stop (with each
landing involving a flight in the traffic pattern) at an airport with
an operating control tower.
