Thanks for the help everyone - I am quite overwhelmed by all the responses.

Now I know that it is not in FAA regulations. I am pretty sure that it is not against flight school or airport rules. I will be sure to ask my instructor.

BTW - imo students should be able to do touch and gos as long as the procedures have been clearly explained and continually overviewed with the instructor. Also, they should have a lot of practice.

Personally, approx 80% of my landings have been touch and gos. My solo was literally the first time I called in as a student pilot (Class C airport) and the first time I ever did a full stop taxi back. Kind of weird (doesn't follow the no firsts on solo you guys talk about) but my instructor was confident in me and I was as well.

Please don't argue.
