What can I see during takeoff from Pashkovsky in Krasnodar?

What can I see when landing at Pashkovsky in Krasnodar?
When landing at Pashkovsky (KRR), sit on the Right side for the best views. Krasnodar Airport's primary runway (04/22) typically handles approaches from the northwest, meaning descending aircraft on final approach face southeast. From the right side, you'll see the Kuban River valley and the agricultural plains that dominate the approach corridor. The left side during landing would show less distinctive terrain—mostly flat farmland extending toward the northwest. Notable sights include: Kuban River (visible as a winding waterway in the middle distance), Krasnodar city sprawl (urban grid visible in the foreground during final descent), surrounding steppe agricultural fields (geometric patchwork of crops), and the low hills of the Caucasus foothills on the distant horizon to the south.
What factors affect the best window seat at Pashkovsky?
