What percentage of landings happen off the airstrip? That % of landings

I think houses off the approach and departure ends are a much worse

house 110' off the center line either you are planting a really large
aircraft on 3,000' of grass or you need some serious recurrent training.

Great way to get Gulf view in a home that is several hundred feet off the
