Sit on the left (Window A) to capture the best views of the Ryazan region. On morning flights, this side remains in the shade, reducing glare for photography. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain as the flat plains of Moscow transition into the rolling hills of Tatarstan about 45 minutes into the flight.

Oil Infrastructure
The landscape near Bugulma is dotted with the pumpjacks and access roads of the Romashkino oil field.
Agricultural Patchwork
Expansive agricultural fields that create a colorful geometric mosaic, especially vibrant during harvest season.
The right side is excellent for sunset flights, as the light casts long shadows across the Tatarstan hills. However, be aware that midday flights can be quite bright and hot due to direct southern exposure. Keep an eye out for the distinct geometric patterns of the oil fields near the descent.
