This is the best place to spot aircraft arriving on runway 20R, in most cases most aircraft would land on this runway as runway 20C is mainly used for departure traffic except during runway maintenence which would usually last 20-30 mins and arrival traffic would temporarily be diverted to runway 20C, runway maintenence only occurs once every 6-7 hours. The best places to spot within Changi Beach for morning arrivals would be near carpark 5 which also has a bus stop if you do not have a car. For evening and afternoon arrivals the best place would be either near carpark 3 or 4 which also has a bus stop nearby or it is just a short walk from carpark 5. Runway 20R is usually used between March-October after which the runway is changed to 02L due to seasonal wind changes. Also note that listening to VHF radios is strictly forbidden and hefty fines are given to those caught listening or using it.
