“We execute a short field landing and STOP. “
I was almost killed by a young instructor and her school that taught short field landings via demonstration of a STOL touch and go at a short airstrip. The flaps jammed down and the poor little C150 couldn’t climb out of ground effect and the terrain rose in front of us. We survived the impossible turn around a tree.
There should be no such thing as a “short field touch and go” in the vocabulary.
