One of the issues with night flight is being able to maneuver on the
surface of an airport without getting lost and making runway
incursions. It can be a daunting task at a large field. I have
always supposed that the FAA wanted pilots to have some recency of
experience in such night maneuvering, and I have thus interpreted the
requirement for full-stop landings to exclude stop-and-go. I have
assumed that they want us to exit the runway and taxi back for
departure. Assuming, of course, that there is a parallel taxiway.
If not, then backtaxi, being very aware of things.

What is the reasoning behind the full stop landing?

With a 10,000' runway and a STOL aircraft, you can get your night
currency in one pass down the runway.

STOL? I could do it in a Bonanza, 172 or Cherokee depending on
whether I had to get to pattern alititude. In that case I could only
get two on one pass.
