L.O.T. used to be a pre-solo confidence building maneuver employed liberally at Skylark North, CA. An instructor demo touch-and-go followed by a student touch-and-go and then a full stop by the student. Very rare that the student needed anything other than some verbal coaching.

Hmmm. Could 3 touch-and-go-on-tows be good enough for a 61.56 (nee biennial) flight review?
