Yet, airplanes land and takeoff from these places for many years with no incidents. Occasionally there are problems, but that is why you buy insurance. Airparks; Living On The Beaten Path? is the Subject, note the ? You might even have to decide to give the airplane to the insurance company someday, if a particularly crappy incident happens to you - if you take up being a pilot. Planes and houses don't grow on trees, but they are much easier to replace than people. I suppose you could say you are at a higher risk if you live within two miles of any airport. Is it a reasonable risk? I think so. Two miles and 20 meters is entirely 2 different discussions. (rest snipped for brevity) Having read many of your posts, I have to agree with Morgans' suggestion that you argue less and listen more. Once you start your flight training you will find that many of your current concerns in areas such as this are unwarranted. In the meantime, your arguments with those who actually fly and understand the relevant issues neither serve your ultimate goal nor help those who, like you, participate in this group to learn because authoritatively stated misinformation is counterproductive. A brief example; you will learn that you can't be off the runway by 20 meters at most airports without things getting ugly. You will also learn that there will be times when you will be unable to take off or land at a chosen airport, and how to judge those times reasonably well. Be patient, listen, and learn! Best, Neil |
