Touch-n-Go's are worth 1 or 2?

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 3
• D. 4

Answer: (B)

A touch-and-go counts as two movements because it includes two distinct runway actions: a landing followed immediately by a takeoff. In airport operations and traffic-flow metrics, each of these actions uses runway time and ATC resources, so the sequence is treated as two movements for capacity and workload calculations. That’s why it’s worth two. It’s not one, since you’re not just landing—you’re also taking off right after. It also isn’t three or four, as there is only one landing and one takeoff in a typical touch-and-go.
