ASR

At Erkilet in Kayseri: for takeoff, sit on the Left side; for landing, sit on the Left side. Notable views include: Mount Erciyes (Erciyes Dağı) volcano, city of Kayseri, Central Anatolian plateau farmland, distant Taurus foothills to the south.

When taking off from Erkilet (ASR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Departing on runway 25 heads the aircraft west-southwest, putting Mount Erciyes — the massive 3,916m dormant volcano south of Kayseri — clearly visible on the left side as you climb out. The city of Kayseri itself spreads below to the left as well, with the volcano dominating the horizon beyond it. Notable sights include: Mount Erciyes (Erciyes Dağı) volcano, city of Kayseri, Central Anatolian plateau farmland, distant Taurus foothills to the south.

When landing at Erkilet (ASR), sit on the Left side for the best views. Landing on runway 25 means approaching from the east and flying west, so the left side of the aircraft faces south toward Kayseri city and the massive Erciyes volcano. This extinct stratovolcano dominates the horizon at nearly 3,917m and is the signature sight on this approach. Notable sights include: Mount Erciyes (Erciyes Dağı) volcano, Kayseri city sprawl, Central Anatolian plateau farmland, Develi plain to the south.

The best window seat at Erkilet (ASR) depends on several factors: the typical runway used for your departure or arrival, the geographic features around Kayseri (mountains, coastlines, city skylines), weather conditions, and time of day. Morning and evening flights often offer the best lighting for scenic views.
