In the [[United States Navy]], touch-and-go landings are part of training for carrier pilots. If they have been away from a carrier for 29 days, they must do practice on a land runway and then do so at sea within 10 days. Before a carrier goes on patrol, pilots will conduct training. For example, before {{USS|Ronald Reagan}} left on its summer 2016 patrol, it planned to conduct 4200 touch-and-go landings.<ref> Moriyasu, Ken [http://asia.nikkei.com/Politics-Economy/International-Relations/US-Navy-needs-touch-and-go-practice-strip US Navy needs touch-and-go practice strip May 13, 2016] ''[[The Nikkei]]'' Retrieved September 1, 2016 </ref>
