touch and go's are just like a normal landing, but you don't stop the airplane completely and continue taxiing to the gate. Instead you advance the thrust levers and take off.

You touch down on the runway - and go up in the sky again

These operations are done mostly as a practice exercise for trainees.

Talkin about touch-and-go's.
I was just doin a practice lap today ( selected the reamin in pattern option ) and forgot to change it to a full stop.
When I landed I realised that I would have to hcange to ground freq. manually ( which usually works ) but I couldnt use it.

Then after a while I noticed that ATC was instructing aircraft to hold short because I was apparently still on the runway.

Anyone else seen this?

lol... been there done that too :-) Nothing you can do but start another fligth to get back talkign to ATC and ground..:-)
