fun with controllers at OSU

OK, I'll bite. Why is this a probem?

We have an instructor here that will ask for options
and then have his student fly the length of our 2 mile runway at about 3
agl. In that 2 miles the student may touch the runway 5 or 6 times.
The instructor just can't understand why this is a problem.

A touch and go, an option or a stop and go allows you one operation. As
soon as you takeoff again you cannot then land without another
clearance. As soon as you takeoff I can launch the next departure. Now
if you land again that is certain to be a pilot deviation as you have
caused a loss of seperation.

That wasn't multiple operations, just one t&g with a lot of bounces. I'd
hate to think how many pilot deviations I've done with some of my
landings. :-)
