Thanks to my father, in 1975 I had the opportunity to sit in the DC8's cockpit in the instructor's seat (I am not an instructor) while approaching the HNL airport (Honolulu). Amazing view. In 1979, I had the opportunity to watch the approach to Hong Kong Kai Tak HKG from the Boeing 747's cockpit. This is something.

[@eprn1n2]

The HNL approach is spectacular. The Kai Tak approach is legendary.

Thanks for the video! I've seen the view from the passenger cabin countless times on HAL flights, but I think you folks have the best view of all. Nice job.

[@makahaj341]

Great video. In the opening scene I can see the building where I live in the distance. Back in the 80s, I used to fly Cessnas out of HNL, touch & goes at Ford Island, and the occasional inter-Island trip. Nothing like what you get to do though. Thanks for the video.

[@MrWmburr7]

Don't stop the video at touchdown . . . take us down the runway so we can hear the reverse thrusters kick in.

I was stationed on Alpha Docks P.H. Navy Base......... as they cross the entrance to Pearl I see all of my old home along with some added things but I guess after 50 years things change.......seems still like a few months ago...... I know the International Market Place was torn down and rebuilt ( BAH HUMBUG ) but the Banyon Tree is still alive........ cool ride along.😎

Looks familiar. I’ve been been on planes conducting that approach more then once when flying into Honolulu. It’s always wonderful to see O’ahu from the air.

[@roberts9000]

Oahu is Oahu, Pali Ke Kua Condos

[@dmwalker3009]

I vividly remember, perhaps 40 years ago, landing at HNL on an inter island flight ( 727 as I remember). The pilot turned onto final approach for 8 or 26 L (the reef runway), and I looked out the window to see a 747 stopped on the runway, pretty close to the middle. Don't know why the pilot didn't see it earlier or wasn't warned by the tower, but it was an exciting end to our Hawaiian vacation. I also remember how they loaded the 727's, in through the front door, out through the back dropdown stair way. Felt sort like cattle!

[@HotWheelsCollectorsHawaii]

It felt like an eternity to watch but when I watch from the ground this approach is really quick. What air speed was the approach?

[@eprn1n2]

A 3 degree approach angle makes the descent very slow. Final approach speed was about 150 kts.

[@rafaelfernandez8311]

OK, about 25 years ago, I was delivering a truck load of flowers to Hawaiian Air cargo, at the inter-island terminal, and I saw a HA DC-10 (former American Airlines) at the gate. It had a rainbow, going from wingtip to wingtip. And, I did NOT have a camera! steve

A340 delivery flight via HNL? Was this going to Air Tahiti?

[@eprn1n2]

It ended up in Afghanistan doing Haj flights. It was the 340 seen with people climbing on it when the US pulled out. This flight eventually ended up in Jakarta where they did maintenance. We then took it to Mazar-I-Sharif after it was done.

[@Av8rApollo]

im just curious do you have the flight plan by chance? I want to fly this in the simulator

[@eprn1n2]

Unfortunately not. We originated in Sanford, Florida. Next day we went to Jakarta.

[@Av8rApollo]

that's alright but thanks for the reply@@eprn1n2

[@philschroeder]

Strange place to cut the video.

[@4220greengates]

Crazy to build a housing complex that near to the runway. The noise must be very annoying! I am 35 miles out from the new major east west runways at O’hare airport in Chicago and when they built and opened them several years ago, our previous quietude is gone and they are landing at probably 3500 feet when they cross over in the vicinity of our house.

[@jamessimms415]

Space is @ a Premium in the islands, build where you can & even w/the crazy cost of living; there shouldn’t be any problem selling them

[@rogerk2049]

Nevermind, a great place to live! Spent little time at home actually.

[@nylonyt228]

the houses that you see are actually maybe like 20 miles from the airport by road, but only 3 miles away by a straight line, there are many places with houses way closer to the runway, just look at Chicago, new york, and los Angeles area airports and you will know what I mean.

[@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550]

Were you approaching from the holding pattern? Been doing approach to 08L on flight gear flight simulator, challenging myself with IMC approach.

[@eprn1n2]

Sounds like fun. This was vectors to straight in. It has been a while since I shot an approach from a hold or did the full procedure.

[@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550]

@@eprn1n2 Though I am mainly doing a Cessna and using the keyboard to control the controls, i’ve tried a little bit with different aircraft including helicopters. I love the flight simulators free, Downloaded it for Linux. The hold is about 13.9 miles from the DME on 171 radial, and I shot a DME arc just to see how well I could do. Doing IMC approaches definitely makes you think ahead of the airplane.I’m not a pilot, but I’ve been practicing on the simulator for about seven months and I’ve watched at least half a dozen CFIs talk about different things on KZbin. I have tried Some of the commercial maneuvers, and spin recovery.

[@eprn1n2]

@@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550 You’ve got the bug! Much easier on the jet than the Cessna. There is a whole simulation industry where non pilots fly 737s etc. There is ATC. Very real. You’ll eventually do that.

[@messianichebrewshawnkawcak1550]

@@eprn1n2 Yeah I’m sure the automation really helps, you don’t have to worry so much about the wind correction because you just put things into the computer and it takes care of it for you. My guess is the big thing if you’re flying manually in a big jet is your power settings to stay on the ILS. The other thing is following the approach fixes some you have room to turn at the higher speeds. I would love to try flying for real to see how well I could actually do, especially with rudder and energy management because it seems like the Key to so many things. I love learning new things. I am good at math, so Airspeed calculations, pressure altitude, density altitude, flight time, and fuel burn is not intimidating to me at all. ATC communication would not scare me, seems pretty straight forward to me.

[@cahenglish]

Is that a lesser used approach to HNL? Never been there except on YT, but it seems most inbounds skirt the coast over the ocean, hang a u-ey, and then back in. I've never seen a landing go so far inland before the turn.

[@cahenglish]

Thanks. It's all perspective, right? :) I must say, I bet 9 times out of 10 you must take special note of the beauty of that place. Wow.

[@charlescanton4740]

Perhaps the most used landing runway is 08 Left. Used most of the time (wind permitting), short taxi to gates. 04 Right used often when arriving from the South Pacific hauling cargo.

Interesting you would catch that. Part 91 ferry work brings together pilots from different backgrounds. My Bus experience is with an airline that does not use AB procedures. My partner has the AB checklist. I had not heard “Thrust” before as a checklist item! Completely stumped me. Part 91 ferry is not as polished as airline work.
