What's an aerodrome?  By implication, it's not just a UK term
for airport.  One certainly can't count on the grass next to
U.S. runways and taxiways. Unless it's specified that landings
are permitted on the grass next to the runway it might be a
thicket of ditches and rebar (but preferable to houses and trees)
