GCJ

When landing at Grand Central (GCJ), sit on the Right side for the best views. Landing on runway 17 means you're approaching from the north and flying south toward Midrand, so the Johannesburg skyline and Sandton's high-rises sit off to the west — visible on the right side of the aircraft. You'll also get a glimpse of the Kyalami motor racing circuit just northwest of the field as you descend. Notable sights include: Sandton skyline, Johannesburg CBD high-rises, Kyalami Grand Prix Circuit, Midrand business district.
