Does "the option" include a taxi-back?

Doesn't a full-stop landing imply that you're going to get off the
runway
promptly? I've never actually *stopped* on the runway for a full-stop
landing, just for a stop-and-go. For a full-stop landing, I always
clear
the runway either at the first intersection or where the controller
sends
me.

It sounded to me like the problem was that the OP actually stopped on
the
runway, and then called to request the back-taxi *while* stopped on the
runway. I can see how the controller would object to this.


He wasn't cleared for a full-stop landing, he was cleared for the option.
The option includes a stop and go. On a stop and go there is usually a
pause of a few seconds between the aircraft coming to a stop and beginning
the next takeoff. Trim is set, flaps adjusted, power increased, etc.
Nothing in the OP suggests the pilot paused any longer than normal,
nothing
in the OP suggests the controller had anything to object to.
