LOL
Aaaah those halcion days past when I had to do umpteen touch and go's for my pilot's licence!!

A touch and go is usually performed within the airfield circuit pattern. In other words one is flying in and out of the same airfield. Taking off flying a circuit and approach, landing and immediately taking off again to perform another circuit.

A Full stop landing is fairly self explanatory in that the intention of the pilot is to land, leave the rwy and bring the a/c to a full stop at the stand/gate to let off the terrified pax.

touch & go

We used to call them circuits & bumps. I think that's a far better description of what it involves.

Wait a minute............the PAX are terrified?!  I thought that was normal...............
