Narrative:

After the student and myself had already completed several touch and go lndgs on the active runway, the tower issued a clearance to land and hold on the runway for wake turbulence separation from a departing small transport. Distraction because of the student's marginal aircraft control, I thought the local controller issued another clearance for a touch and go. After takeoff the controller informed me the clearance had been to land and hold on the runway. I feel several things could be done to prevent another occurrence. First, when cleared to land, the pilot should readback the full clearance instead of just the aircraft call sign, with a full readback hopefully any errors could be caught immediately. Secondly, if the PIC is so distraction by events within the cockpit that he can misunderstand a clearance, it is that pilot's responsibility to reduce the workload so all communications can be completed distraction free. In this case I completed a touch and go because that is what I was expecting and missed the controllers instructions to land on the runway and hold.

Original NASA ASRS Text

Title: SMA PERFORMS A TOUCH AND GO WHEN A LAND AND HOLD HAD BEEN ISSUED.

Narrative: AFTER THE STUDENT AND MYSELF HAD ALREADY COMPLETED SEVERAL TOUCH AND GO LNDGS ON THE ACTIVE RWY, THE TWR ISSUED A CLRNC TO LAND AND HOLD ON THE RWY FOR WAKE TURB SEPARATION FROM A DEPARTING SMT. DISTR BECAUSE OF THE STUDENT'S MARGINAL ACFT CTL, I THOUGHT THE LCL CTLR ISSUED ANOTHER CLRNC FOR A TOUCH AND GO. AFTER TKOF THE CTLR INFORMED ME THE CLRNC HAD BEEN TO LAND AND HOLD ON THE RWY. I FEEL SEVERAL THINGS COULD BE DONE TO PREVENT ANOTHER OCCURRENCE. FIRST, WHEN CLRED TO LAND, THE PLT SHOULD READBACK THE FULL CLRNC INSTEAD OF JUST THE ACFT CALL SIGN, WITH A FULL READBACK HOPEFULLY ANY ERRORS COULD BE CAUGHT IMMEDIATELY. SECONDLY, IF THE PIC IS SO DISTR BY EVENTS WITHIN THE COCKPIT THAT HE CAN MISUNDERSTAND A CLRNC, IT IS THAT PLT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO REDUCE THE WORKLOAD SO ALL COMS CAN BE COMPLETED DISTR FREE. IN THIS CASE I COMPLETED A TOUCH AND GO BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I WAS EXPECTING AND MISSED THE CTLRS INSTRUCTIONS TO LAND ON THE RWY AND HOLD.
