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...


Any respectable plae should be able to stop in a 1000 and be at least
several hundred feet from 1500...right over the neighbors who don't
like noise.
