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. [...] I appreciate the thought Neil but it's not like I haven't had a few hundred hours in single/twin in the left seat. I apologize for thinking you were pre-flight student, but your few hundred hours of flying doesn't show in your concerns in this thread. No apologies necessary. In that amount of time, it would seem to me that you would have flown into airports with far less tolerance than 60' off centerline. To me, 60' is as good as a mile, since the wingspans of the planes I fly are far less than that and many runways have trees and other obstructions closer than those houses. A few, not many even though 1/2 the T/Os and lands were in very small eown USA. First, most everyone assumed that I have some kind of irrational problem with airparks. The irrationality I find is that few, one or two, wanted to discuss the very real possibilities of serious person and property damage. Let's take the recent Velocity-RV incident, put that in an airpark and you have major, potential carnage. From my perspective, and those of several others, the issues are risk management and judgement rather than some inherently difficult circumstance of the layout you described. As another person pointed out during this discussion, those living in an airpark would get a lot of practice flying into and out of that strip, which further reduces the risks. Best, Overall, I believe that you are correct, surely that would be the ase if your own house was on the strip. lol Btw, the layout is interesting part of the airpark development. There may be a higher justification for concern if planes have to use the developments' road system, instead of a segregated access for planes only. -- Remove numbers for gmail and for God's sake it ain't "gee" either!
