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...


That would depend on the aircraft. A STOL aircraft would not have a
problem in 2,500' or even shorter.
