So, if it's one loooong runway, or on a river in a float plane, can you take
off and land, take off and land and take off and land without going around
the pattern to qualify?

you WILL do 3 trips around the pattern solo (or with an instructor), to
complete your three landings in a glider (it is a different category all
its own).. before you take that friend soaring..

no exceptions..


It's three Takeoff / landings - not three trips around the pattern. So, I
suspect that you could save a couple tows by doing two touch and go's
before the full stop at the end of the runway, eh?

You touch the main gear down,
you lift the main gear up
You touch the main gear down
and you shake it all around.

Isn't that what it's all about?
