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.

Here's an article extolling a few of the problems of airparks. Note
the one extraneous activities on the runways.

Apparently, your "experience" doesn't involve flying into airports located
in rural areas. There are all kinds of "extraneous activities on the
runways", mostly non-human. A pilot knows how to deal with these
situations appropriately, minimizing the risks.

Actually, 50% does including such glorified areas as Fayette AL,
LewisburgTN, Senatobia MS Ballground GA and more Podunk towns in AK than
I can remember.

Cows, deer (by the dozens), infants...the whole scheebang. You look at
this as acceptable challenges, I look at this as exceptional
liabilities. Same view, two different eyes.

I hesitate to add to this discussion because I'm not an instructor,
just a rather slow student who's not qualified to give advice that
might kill someone.

Then you need to give up the idea of flying now. Don't waste any more of
your time.

Airparks aren't the only place where animals get on the runway and I've
seen deer on a Class C airport's runway and the only reason I haven't
seen them on a Class B is that I don't fly into them that often.

Not to mention all those pesky birds that we are forced to share the
sky with. I had an much too close encounter with a buzzard in a 172
once. It resulted in replacing one wing and a soiled seat(g). I have
photos of a twin that was struck in the windshield and tore a two foot
wide section out of the fuselage almost the length of the cabin. If
you are looking for "Risk Free", stay in bed.

Thanks for the valuable, out of context FYI rolls eyes?

How in the world do you get off the ground without flying over one or
more of these liabilities?

I smell a red herring...
