The FARs only require that you do a full stop. If the runway is long

would let me use 30L late at night. With almost 10,000', it was no problem
to do a full stop and go.


correct. I never thought about doing the touch - stop - go's (that's
better terminology I guess) at SJC. I dont' this is specified anywhere
but how high do you have to go for it to count as a landing. Can you
take off, stay in ground effect, land and stop?
