As a CFI, I don't like touch-and-goes because they tend to reinforce bad
habits. Specifically, during a touch-and-go, you need to retract flaps before you add power. This is TERRIBLE reinforcement for go-around procedures. I have often done BFRs for pilots who learned using T&G's, and when asked to go around they almost always retract flaps before adding power. This is very bad. My home field is relatively short, too, so I don't do T&G's with my students. When at a longer runway, I might do T&G's if my student just needs a lot of landing practice, but in those cases, *I* always retract the flaps on the ground, so that for go around, the student won't have the tendency to reach for them. |
