"Larry Dighera" wrote What is the reasoning behind full-stop landings for night currency? 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. :-) Bob Moore

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

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.
