If the airport has a very long runway, then a small aircraft could
takeoff and reach pattern altitude before the end of the runway.The
same is true for an approach. A go-around would also place an aircraft
next to the runway where jumpers might be descending.

Doesn't even have to be a "small" plane, just a good climber, lightly
loaded, or both.

No airplane is supposed to be ,,next to the runway'' or enywhere higher
up
from that point, am I right?
