General Information
Taking photos of aircrafts are not forbidden, but most of people think it is a kind of crime. We have the same thinking in Turkey. In Turkey, civilian use airports are also under act of special security areas, these are all airports, ports, power plants, nav aids, etc. In these areas unauthorized entry is forbidden, at these areas the taking pictures of buildings are not allowed, but aircrafts are free to take pictures.
 
So how we are spotting? Just stay away from the fences, or do not make yourself so clear to the security watch boxes around the airports. Better way is stay on the buildings, parks, forest, etc. surrounding airports.

35L/R Take-Off, 05 Landing configuration.
;35L/R Take-Off, 05 Landing configuration : For this configuration there are two popular spotting areas. Sun is on the east side at morning hours so IBB Florya municipality park is the most convenient place. It’s located at the sea side of runway 05 approach. For afternoon, ‘Flyinn shopping centre‘ is most convenient and comfortable place for spotting. On the second floor, the open terrace for smokers is very close and good for spotting departing aircrafts and general airport traffic.
