Seeing as how the regulation for night currency only applies to the carrying of passengers why should he have needed to mention it? His question was about qualifying for night ops, not about night currency. I don't think so, the thread started with why is it 3 to a full stop and the thread is called Night currency question. Someone then said does it make sense to go out "unqualified" which in the vein of this thread only makes sense as "not current" to become "qualified" which would be "current". Margy |

"Robert M. Gary" wrote The definition of "landing" is a bit vague, but full stop is pretty easy to define. I suspect that the FAA doesn't want people to count time when they bang the wheels on the ground and then continue flying. I've been known to log 3 of those types of "landings" in a single pass. Too funny! :-) -- Jim in NC |

My buddy has a 310 and when we landed and taxied to the hangers and met the other planes that went on the trip to lunch, they wondered why they were back to the hanger first. I told them we landed 3 times. My buddy was a little upset, but it was funny at the time. He sure has a hard time landing that plane. -Robert, CFII |

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. Stan "john" wrote in message ... What is the reasoning behind the full stop landing? thanks, John 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. Roger (K8RI) |
