Sandhills State Forest
A large conservation area featuring unique longleaf pine ecosystems and sandy terrain.
Uptown Charlotte
The dramatic skyline of North Carolina's largest city, including the Duke Energy Center and Truist Center.
US National Whitewater Center
The world's largest man-made whitewater river is clearly visible just west of the airport perimeter.
Bank of America Stadium
The home of the Carolina Panthers is often visible during the crosswind or downwind legs of the approach.
The right side is the 'city side.' For the best views of the Charlotte skyline, watch the horizon during the final 5-10 minutes of flight. If landing towards the south, you'll get a panoramic sweep of the downtown area. Afternoon flights are best on this side to capture the golden hour light hitting the skyscrapers.
