The urban Sacramento grid and the confluence of the American and Sacramento Rivers are clearly visible on the right side during climb-out. Notable sights include: Sacramento River and American River confluence, downtown Sacramento grid, Central Valley agricultural patchwork, Sierra Nevada foothills on the eastern horizon.

On the common southwesterly approach to runways 19/26, the right side gives a direct view over the Las Vegas Strip and downtown, with the Spring Mountains and Red Rock Canyon visible beyond. The Mojave Desert basin and the city's neon grid are most dramatic from the right seat on final approach. Notable sights include: Las Vegas Strip casino corridor, Spring Mountains and Charleston Peak to the west, Lake Mead visible to the northeast on approach, Mojave Desert basin surrounding the city.
