Radio protocol regarding full stops on full stop only nights

The proper request would have been for a "stop & go".


What airport prohibits touch and goes but allows stop and goes?

There is always the stop and taxi back option, not as convenient but ok for
currency.

What is the reasoning behind full-stop landings for night currency?
If one performs stop-and-goes (presumably adequate to meet the FAR
requirement), there is no more night taxi experience gained than with
touch-and-goes. Is it a safety issue? I must be overlooking
something.

I've always assumed so (though I have no direct evidence). I imagine that
the FAA doesn't want to encourage pilots who lack recent night experience to
rush through a night-time touch-and-go, so they refuse to count
touch-and-goes toward the night-currency requirement. A stop and go does
give you more of a chance to verify that the flaps are retracted and that
the plane is otherwise configured for takeoff, and that you have enough
remaining runway length (although the full stop does use up some extra
length).

It's to keep the smart-asses from doing three bounces down
the runway in one pass and calling them takeoffs and landings,
and never leaving the confines of the runway enviroment.
One day, I did 15 "takeoffs and landings" in one pass down
a 6,000' runway in my MiniMax with not a single turn. :-)

Then why are full stops required to meet the night-currency requirement, but
not the day-currency requirement?

Why is that okay for day currency?

Ah. Of course. That has got to be the reason.

And Gary's answer explains the reasoning why stop-and-goes wouldn't be
the safest way of practicing night operations.

Thanks.
