Of course. That has got to be the reason. And Gary's answer explains the reasoning why stop-and-goes wouldn't be the safest way of practicing night operations. Thanks. |

It's to keep the smart-asses from doing three bounces down the runway in one pass and calling them takeoffs and landings, and never leaving the confines of the runway enviroment. Then why are full stops required to meet the night-currency requirement, but not the day-currency requirement? --Gary Ummmm.... Good point. |

It must be a heavy training environment. At most airports people land
because they want to make a full stop, not because they want to do a touch & go. "Jay Beckman" wrote in news:wpYNd.29698$Yu.5977@fed1read01: "Andrew Sarangan" wrote in message 1... Full stop landings are the norm. Touch & goes are exceptions and require permission. It is like requesting a non-LAHSO landing. You probably confused the tower controller with the request. The tower at my home airport (Class D) almost always asks my intentions if I don't declare something specific on initial contact. In fact, I can't remember an instance when they haven't asked.

KCHD is a very busy training airport with parallel runways. They prefer to keep T&G traffic on the south runway, while full stop and takeoff ops go on the north side. I always add "full stop" or "touch and go" to my initial call at that airport. John Galban=====N4BQ (PA28-180) |
