No touch and go's?

Do you have an example of an airport that prohibits touch and go's
because of runway length issues? I know of a few 2500 foot runways in
my area that don;t have restriction, even though I agree it would be
rather risky to do a touch and go at those places...

Thats very interesting. It seems that airport is privately owned, so I
assume the restriction is there to preserve the condition of the
runway more than anything else.

But I wonder, how do they enforce that rule? It says "ALL TRNG OPNS;
TKOF/LNDG PRACTICE AND NIGHT OPNS ARE PROHIBITED."

If you're with your friend, just jaunting around on a Sunday
afternoon, can you do a touch and go there? Its not a training flight,
nor are you practicing anything there. Do you have to stop there and
visit the FBO or something for your landing to be allowed?

There's a big sign on the runway that says "NO TOUCH & GOS"...

KPAO has a 2443' runway, and I would argue that the majority of the
operations that runway sees are touch and go's...

That would depend on the aircraft. A STOL aircraft would not have a
problem in 2,500' or even shorter.

KANP, Annapolis,MD has the restriction. Is it all length or is it noise
or is it both, can't say for sure.

Any respectable plae should be able to stop in a 1000 and be at least
several hundred feet from 1500...right over the neighbors who don't
like noise.
