: high in my experience. I've flown with rated pilot with fresh BFRs that have a hard time with tngs. That's probably because most pilots stop flying TnGs once they get their rating... |

My school didn't allow solo touch-and-goes, so I only flew them with an instructor until I got my rating. Now I do them occasionally for currency ... or just for fun. ....

Now with the Mooney I can't imagine doing more landings than necessary. Its like parking your car in the garage more times than necessary, it just isn't interesting. -robert |

Night currency question
Before 1973 [IIRC] all landings for day or night had to be to a full stop
and you had to do 5 every 90 days. The rule changed to reduce the number to 3 and T&G were allowed in the daytime. The FAA reasoning was that loss of directional control was more likely at night with reduced visual references, so they retained the full stop at night.
