ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Park in an appropriate area, considering the safety of nearby persons and property.

Bottom line

Whenever possible, the airplane should be parked headed into the existing or forecast wind. Unless parking in a designated, supervised area, the pilot should select a location and heading that prevents propeller or jet blast of other airplanes from striking the airplane unnecessarily. The aircraft should be hangared or tied down, flight controls secured, and security locks in place.
