Narrative:
This transgression occurred a couple of hours after the national airspace had been cleared for IFR flts from/within the continental united states. I filed an IFR flight plan for a flight out and back to stinson field (ssf) from twin oaks airport (T94) both within the city limits of san antonio and in or beneath the class C of san antonio international (sat). Upon identing stinson, I accepted a visual approach to the field, I received and acknowledged clearance to land. At stinson runway 14, I landed a little longer and faster than I thought I was going to, and elected to turn the landing into a touch-and-go. The tower controller asked me to say intentions, whereupon I declared a touch-and-go, whereupon he said they really needed to know that ahead of time. I said 'yeah, that's true!' I returned in the pattern for a full stop, closed IFR on the taxiway back to runway 14, and accepted IFR clearance back to T94 on the roll to runway 14. It was only afterwards that I thought to myself that I have probably done this before at stinson, this is a field where some incredible a amount (90%?) of the traffic is student lndgs, and things like this probably occur with some regularity. It is probably what happens on every occasion that I have been asked to 'say intentions' in this situation. But it does explain part of the reason why local flight schools typically require full stop lndgs out at stinson. I have had to remind myself that cleared to land means land. The stop and go, touch and go, low approach, missed approach, and the 'option' are different animals and being cleared for all except the last requires the specified animal and no other. I have consulted scriptures, otherwise known as far/aim, to confirm this. And, yea verily, it is true.

Title: MOONEY M20 PLT MADE TOUCH AND GO WITHOUT CLRNC AFTER BEING CLRED TO LAND.
Narrative: THIS TRANSGRESSION OCCURRED A COUPLE OF HRS AFTER THE NATIONAL AIRSPACE HAD BEEN CLRED FOR IFR FLTS FROM/WITHIN THE CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES. I FILED AN IFR FLT PLAN FOR A FLT OUT AND BACK TO STINSON FIELD (SSF) FROM TWIN OAKS ARPT (T94) BOTH WITHIN THE CITY LIMITS OF SAN ANTONIO AND IN OR BENEATH THE CLASS C OF SAN ANTONIO INTL (SAT). UPON IDENTING STINSON, I ACCEPTED A VISUAL APCH TO THE FIELD, I RECEIVED AND ACKNOWLEDGED CLRNC TO LAND. AT STINSON RWY 14, I LANDED A LITTLE LONGER AND FASTER THAN I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO, AND ELECTED TO TURN THE LNDG INTO A TOUCH-AND-GO. THE TWR CTLR ASKED ME TO SAY INTENTIONS, WHEREUPON I DECLARED A TOUCH-AND-GO, WHEREUPON HE SAID THEY REALLY NEEDED TO KNOW THAT AHEAD OF TIME. I SAID 'YEAH, THAT'S TRUE!' I RETURNED IN THE PATTERN FOR A FULL STOP, CLOSED IFR ON THE TXWY BACK TO RWY 14, AND ACCEPTED IFR CLRNC BACK TO T94 ON THE ROLL TO RWY 14. IT WAS ONLY AFTERWARDS THAT I THOUGHT TO MYSELF THAT I HAVE PROBABLY DONE THIS BEFORE AT STINSON, THIS IS A FIELD WHERE SOME INCREDIBLE A AMOUNT (90%?) OF THE TFC IS STUDENT LNDGS, AND THINGS LIKE THIS PROBABLY OCCUR WITH SOME REGULARITY. IT IS PROBABLY WHAT HAPPENS ON EVERY OCCASION THAT I HAVE BEEN ASKED TO 'SAY INTENTIONS' IN THIS SIT. BUT IT DOES EXPLAIN PART OF THE REASON WHY LCL FLT SCHOOLS TYPICALLY REQUIRE FULL STOP LNDGS OUT AT STINSON. I HAVE HAD TO REMIND MYSELF THAT CLRED TO LAND MEANS LAND. THE STOP AND GO, TOUCH AND GO, LOW APCH, MISSED APCH, AND THE 'OPTION' ARE DIFFERENT ANIMALS AND BEING CLRED FOR ALL EXCEPT THE LAST REQUIRES THE SPECIFIED ANIMAL AND NO OTHER. I HAVE CONSULTED SCRIPTURES, OTHERWISE KNOWN AS FAR/AIM, TO CONFIRM THIS. AND, YEA VERILY, IT IS TRUE.
