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?


Since a full stop is only required for a tailwheel airplane, I suppose that
manuver would meet the letter of the regulation. As an alternative, you could
do an auto tow to liftoff and then do a landing straight ahead...repeat.
