I do not have a number of how many do this, but any number is too much, and in violation of the AMA safety code.
How would these AMA members caught flying at a non-approved AMA cite explain themselves if the AMA decided to pull their membership?
They knew the rules, they were educated about the rules, and at times practiced the rules but decided in this instance not
to follow the rules
That would be a hard position to defend wouldn't it?
??? There are no rules that say you must use an AMA approved cite (I think you meant site). In fact there are no AMA approved cites or sites. There is a charter for the club, but that does not approve the field. Nor is there a rule against flying from wherever you want.
