BECAUSE OF A CURFEW AT IAD AGAINST TOUCH AND GOES OR LAND AND RETURN FOR TKOF; A C172 PLT AGREES TO LAND AND TAXI TO THE GA TERMINAL AND THEN RETURN FOR TKOF. PLT BOUNCES ON RWY TWICE AND ABORTS LNDG; THEN DEPARTS THE AREA.

Narrative

A NON-INST RATED PVT PLT AND I FLEW A PLEASURE FLT FROM FCI TO IAD ON A VFR FLT PLAN; IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE CURRENT TFR FOR THE WASHINGTON AREA. WE WERE ALSO RECEIVING RADAR ADVISORIES SHORTLY AFTER DEP FROM FCI. SHORTLY AFTER OUR HDOF TO THE POTOMAC APCH HANDLING APCHS TO DULLES; WE REQUESTED A 'STOP & GO' LNDG AT IAD. THE CTLR INDICATED THAT FLT TRAINING WAS NOT PERMITTED; BUT WOULD PASS THAT INFO ON TO THE TWR CTLR. UPON HDOF TO TWR; THE TWR CTLR INDICATED THAT THE ARPT COMMISSION DOES NOT ALLOW PRACTICE APCHS AFTER XA00Z; AND ASKED OUR INTENTIONS. I RESPONDED THAT WE WOULD BE WILLING TO CLR THE RWY AND TAXI BACK FOR DEP. THE CTLR INDICATED THAT THIS WOULD NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS. I RESPONDED THAT WE WOULD INTEND TO PROCEED TO THE GA TERMINAL AFTER LNDG. THE CTLR ACKNOWLEDGED. ON A VISUAL APCH FOR RWY 1L; WE WERE FAST ON APCH. IN AN EFFORT TO LAND; THE ACFT BOUNCED. AFTER A SECOND BOUNCE; WE ELECTED TO ATTEMPT TO RECOVER THE LNDG AND PROCEEDED TO ESTABLISH A GAR; AND ANNOUNCED OUR INTENTIONS TO THE TWR. THE TWR CTLR ADVISED US TO FLY RWY HDG AND CLB TO 2500 FT. BECAUSE THIS WAS A PLEASURE FLT; WE ELECTED NOT TO ATTEMPT ANOTHER APCH AND ADVISED THE TWR THAT WE WOULD LIKE TO RETURN TO OUR ARPT OF ORIGINATION. WE WERE THEN HANDED OFF TO APCH AND ADVISED THAT DUE TO A BAD LNDG AND RESULTING GAR; WE WISHED TO RETURN TO FCI. THE CTLR ASKED IF WE HAD A FLT PLAN; AND WE CONFIRMED THAT WE HAD. WE WERE ISSUED A VECTOR HDG OF 230 DEGS. WE REQUESTED TO LEAVE THE FREQ TO CONTACT FLT SVC; AND OUR REQUEST WAS APPROVED. UPON RETURNING TO THE FREQ; WE WERE ISSUED A NEW BEACON CODE. AFTER SETTING THE NEW CODE; THE CTLR MOMENTARILY LOST RADAR CONTACT OF OUR ACFT. SHORTLY AFTER RADAR CONTACT WAS RE-ESTABLISHED; WE WERE ADVISED TO PROCEED ON COURSE. THE AFD ENTRY FOR DULLES INTL ARPT INDICATES THAT FLT TRAINING IS PROHIBITED DURING CERTAIN HRS. BECAUSE OUR FLT WAS A PLEASURE FLT AND ARRIVING AT THE DEST WAS NOT CRITICAL TO COMMERCE; PERSONAL OBLIGATIONS OR SAFETY; WE OPTED TO RETURN TO OUR ARPT OF ORIGINATION SO AS NOT TO ADD TO THE CONGESTION AND CTLR WORKLOAD IN THE WASHINGTON AREA. OUR INTENTION WAS NOT TO CONDUCT FLT TRAINING NOR VIOLATE THE PROHIBITION OF FLT TRAINING. BECAUSE NO REF IN 14 CFR OR THE AERONAUTICAL INFO MANUAL IS CITED AS TO WHAT CONSTITUTES FLT TRAINING OR WHEN A PLEASURE FLT WOULD BE CONSIDERED FLT TRAINING; I WANTED TO BE CLR THAT THE DECISION TO ABORT THE LNDG AND RETURN TO THE ARPT OF ORIGINATION WAS MADE BASED ON SAFETY OF THE OCCUPANTS; THE ACFT; THE FACILITIES; AND SURROUNDING AIRSPACE; RATHER THAN CIRCUMVENTING THE PROHIBITION OF FLT TRAINING. IN REGARDS TO WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO PREVENT A RECURRENCE OF THIS SIT; BETTER SPD CTL ON SHORT FINAL WOULD HAVE PREVENTED BALLOONING AND THE NEED TO ABORT THE LNDG.
