Oh, I don't know about that. There are probably airplanes around within
five hundred feet, and people in them or working on them. There may
also be structures.

It depends on the airport and what's occurring on the surface. I would
venture to guess that most airports are rather sleepy most of the time,
and people and structures are beyond 500 feet from the runway.

Regardless, though, you'd have a tough time arguing that someone who
does low approaches, go arounds, or low passes down the runway didn't
initially intend to land.
