Do you have an example of an airport that prohibits touch and go's
because of runway length issues? I know of a few 2500 foot runways in
my area that don;t have restriction, even though I agree it would be
rather risky to do a touch and go at those places...

Thats very interesting. It seems that airport is privately owned, so I
assume the restriction is there to preserve the condition of the
runway more than anything else.

But I wonder, how do they enforce that rule? It says "ALL TRNG OPNS;
TKOF/LNDG PRACTICE AND NIGHT OPNS ARE PROHIBITED."

If you're with your friend, just jaunting around on a Sunday
afternoon, can you do a touch and go there? Its not a training flight,
nor are you practicing anything there. Do you have to stop there and
visit the FBO or something for your landing to be allowed?
