How do you figure?

From the P/CG:

"OPTION APPROACH- An approach requested and conducted by a pilot which
will result in either a touch-and-go, missed approach, low approach,
stop- and-go, or full stop landing."

Says the same thing the AIM says. A back-taxi is not on the above list.


The controller didn't bitch about the request for the back-taxi, he bitched
about the full-stop landing. A full-stop IS covered under the option.
