Narrative:
At the airport that I fly at, touch and goes are done very, very often. Getting cleared for the option is the usual practice. I had intentions of flying to pia and back home and doing a touch and go to save time. I had told pia approach of my intentions to touch and go for 'the option,' but when I was told to switch to tower and give intentions, I must have said 'for landing' to tower. I was cleared to land, but out of normal practice, I did a touch and go. This is a first time mistake like this for me. Re-asking for the option after being cleared to land would have solved this problem, or just landing like I was cleared to do would have been correct. This will certainly never happen again.

Narrative: AT THE ARPT THAT I FLY AT, TOUCH AND GOES ARE DONE VERY, VERY OFTEN. GETTING CLRED FOR THE OPTION IS THE USUAL PRACTICE. I HAD INTENTIONS OF FLYING TO PIA AND BACK HOME AND DOING A TOUCH AND GO TO SAVE TIME. I HAD TOLD PIA APCH OF MY INTENTIONS TO TOUCH AND GO FOR 'THE OPTION,' BUT WHEN I WAS TOLD TO SWITCH TO TWR AND GIVE INTENTIONS, I MUST HAVE SAID 'FOR LNDG' TO TWR. I WAS CLRED TO LAND, BUT OUT OF NORMAL PRACTICE, I DID A TOUCH AND GO. THIS IS A FIRST TIME MISTAKE LIKE THIS FOR ME. RE-ASKING FOR THE OPTION AFTER BEING CLRED TO LAND WOULD HAVE SOLVED THIS PROB, OR JUST LNDG LIKE I WAS CLRED TO DO WOULD HAVE BEEN CORRECT. THIS WILL CERTAINLY NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.
