| May 22, 2017 at 17:40 | comment | added | Shawn | I'd question the uploader's belief that the engine even needs to "stabilize" after approach. I don't have any metallurgy-based reasons for believing this; just the fact that I've flown many airplanes that were doing touch-and-goes before I was even born and still didn't have so much as a hiccup when I was doing them myself. That said, most of the other responses have pointed to the fact that a full-stop landing does teach better piloting skills than t&gs do. But sometimes it's not the proper time to reinforce those skills; thus touch and goes. | |

| May 21, 2017 at 14:09 | comment | added | acpilot | No. Touch and gos are fine. You can do touch and gos every day all day without hurting anything. I point to millions of hours flown on the GA training fleet and the average actual tbo of a flight school's trainers. The school I worked for used autogas and flew over 3000 on many of their engines. They were not unique. The idea that the engine sees some kind of benefit from "stabilizing" is questionable (would like to see data) and the idea that the engine is somehow "shocked" is nonsense. | |
