Post by: EHM-1358 Tim on June 17, 2004, 09:35:22 pm

Touch and go in my explanation is, when you land a plane on the runway, let it touchdown with all wheels but do not break or lose speed, and after some seconds gain speed, until rolling and takeoff again.

It is a good practice for approach procedures, lining up with the glide slope, practicing touchdown, and practicing takeoff, climbing, so procedured like SID or STAR.

You touch the runway with the landing gear but instead of stopping you take off again. Its use is to practice landing.
