🛬 Landing at Pristina (PRN)

Best sideLeft
WhyLanding on runway 17 means you're flying south with the approach path passing just west of Pristina city, so the city skyline and the Kosovo A/B power plant cooling towers near Obiliq sit off to the left side. The Sharr Mountains rise on the southern horizon ahead as you descend, but the city and power plant give the left side the more distinct, closer landmarks.
