During the cruise portion heading west, the right side also tracks slightly more toward the Georgia piedmont terrain.

During takeoff from Augusta Rgnl At Bush Fld (AGS), sit on the Left side for the best views. Departing Augusta Regional, aircraft typically use Runway 17 heading south or Runway 35 heading north. On a westbound departure toward Atlanta, a left turn after takeoff puts the Savannah River and downtown Augusta on the left side. The river is a clear, wide landmark snaking through the landscape below. Notable sights include: Savannah River, downtown Augusta grid, Lake Olmstead, Augusta National Golf Club (distinctive green fairways visible in spring/fall).

The right side on final approach gives a clear view of downtown Atlanta's skyline as the aircraft descends over the eastern metro area. Notable sights include: Downtown Atlanta skyline, Stone Mountain (distinctive granite dome 16 miles east of downtown), Lake Allatoona visible to the northwest, I-285 perimeter highway loop.
