Touch-and-Go
Touch-and-Go can represent:
- A touch-and-go landing, a pilot's term for a maneuver that is common when learning to fly a fixed-wing aircraft. It involves landing on a runway and then taking off again without coming to a complete stop. Usually the pilot then circles the airport and repeats the maneuver. This allows many landings to be practiced in a short time. It can also describe a maneuver used to test questionable landing surfaces. In British parlance this maneuver is called "bumps and circuits".
- TaG kart engines, which have an electric starter motor and so don't have to be pushed like many other varieties.
