Full Flight - Hawaiian Airlines - Airbus A330-243 - SEA-OGG - N389HA - HA29 - IFS Ep. 525

[@hanssamson5436]

Never get tired of that Trent 709 howling sounds eargasm!

[@rexx9496]

The richness of the colors upon landing, it's amazing. I've flown into Hawaii a few times and that's the one thing I'll never forget is the colors of everything on final approach.

[@sla31]

Definitely one of the most beautiful places on Earth. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@jeremy1350]

Carry on -- Check! Sticker on the fuselage - Check! Window Seat/ Exit Door Leg Room - Check! Beautiful Glide path into Kahului, The Blue of the ocean and the green of the land.

[@paulakaochari4392]

I love all sounds, the airliner it's self, service bells, seat belts clicking, people chit-chat, the sounds the engines make all of it. 🥰🙂

[@okell8319]

a flight to Hawaii is always the best!

[@Rwalt61]

Anytime you land in Hawaii it is beautiful.

[@sla31]

There’s never a bad time to fly to Hawaii! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@wandacapstick5476]

I went to Maui in August 2009.

[@MegaTraps]

I have this flight next Thursday! Glad you have a video of it. Watching these usually help calm my nerves and preflight jitters. How long is the typical boarding process for the A330?

[@sla31]

The boarding of an A330 takes at least 45 minutes. I think Hawaiian starts boarding like 45-50 minutes before departure. I can't remember for sure, but it's not the typical 30 minutes before departure.

[@ChrisZoomER]

Love the flap track fairings including fuel nozzle on the second nearest one to the wingtip that dumps fuel in case the plane is too heavy!

[@zachmatt3]

I saw the spray and wondered what was going on. Didn't seem like it was much, though.

[@DrasticllyOversizedEgg]

when

[@rexx9496]

@@zachmatt3 Yeah, I saw that too. I wonder if that was just an accident? It seemed like too little came out to make any difference in landing weight.

[@keithfreitas2983]

Fuel dumping is normally used in emergency situations after takeoff and aircraft has to land, if the airline has the sysrem. Not all Aircraft have fuel dump systems. Dumping fuel at destination never happens as aircraft are well below max landing weight. All MDC aircraft has fuel dump system including the C17.

[@ChrisZoomER]

@@keithfreitas2983 I know.

[@nikolauswolff5791]

32:00 = " Make it yourself comfortable. This here takes a while."😄 Nice flight. Maui is always worth a trip.

[@manugfan]

Nice flight video! I haven’t been to Kahului airport or Maui in general in almost 25 years! Hopefully I’ll get to visit there again some day

[@margaretroselle8610]

Thank you for another great flight.

[@sla31]

Glad you enjoyed it my friend! As always, thanks for watching!

[@heatherstub]

As always, the audio is amazing! You come through every time, and you always care about the quality audio equally to the visual aspects of your videos, so keep doing what you're doing! It makes such a difference when I get to virtually fly with you. Now, if you could tell me about the foods they include with the menus, (not to mention the beverages), it would be really nice, because I might just get to fly to Pittsburghthis year to stay with the nuns at my favorite Monastery in Ellwood City, Pennsylvania! I think Delta Airlines just might win me over above Southwest Airlines, but I'm still trying to decide. I don't know, but have you thought about trying some of those Business Jets that some people are taking to get from point A to point B? It's just a thought. My cousin Brent flies a corporate jet in and out of Moline, il to level points for Conegra Foods, for example. Yeah, I know, that's a whole new level of flying, so I don't know if this would be practical for you or not. One of my favorite things to ask pilots to do is a static takeoff which is such a cool thing to experience. Just the power alone of that thrust is so amazing!

[@a2pilot916]

Quite an impressive Gulfstream lineup at OGG

[@pulse_]

I fly into OGG a lot. Gotta love that last turn onto final past the mountain.

[@chicagocarsandcoffee]

Shouldn’t have seen this comment a week before flying into OGG…

[@Rwalt61]

It looked like those A330s have a good climb rate.

[@visionist7]

Most twins do. They have 200% the power they need to fly in case an engine explodes on takeoff. This means they're overpowered for cruise though. Fun fact: the A340 300 is actually more fuel efficient than the 777 200ER in cruise. It has 133% the power it needs to fly.

[@ANCspottor907]

Love the content skylite Uhm what do you usually do when you land? I would assume that you would upload these in A hotel or something???

[@sla31]

I usually go to the hotel and crash haha. I have had days where I have 5 flights in a single day. I don't do anything with the footage until after I've returned home and have had time to edit it all. I fly enough to have about a month of videos ready to go ahead of time.

[@320ifly]

Love the sound of those engines spooling up from idle. RR trent?

[@sla31]

Yes, Hawaiian uses Roll Royce power on all of their A330's. Thanks for watching!

[@bradsyoutube]

Really nice video, thanks for sharing! Was Seattle cold enough for deicing? 👍

[@sla31]

It was. It was about 31 degrees. And with fog, that means that moisture could freeze on the wings. Thanks for watching my friend!

Nice, quality video.

[@Tortured_poet355]

This is exactly like the flight I had but on Alaska Airlines. Beautiful landing!

[@privskorp.9865]

Love that man! Thanks

[@ojosdoc007]

looks great could you do a flight from Dallas to McAllen Texas?

[@jahsundupre4100]

That’s actually a good ride

[@RoadsOfAsiaBen]

Great fly! I see some of your video contains water salutes. Why they do that?

[@sla31]

I'm assuming this was asking about water salutes and it was autocorrected. Water cannon salute is an aviation tradition used to signify a "special flight." That can be an inaugural flight, a final flight, a crew member's retirement flight, an aircraft retirement flight, or even something else like a fallen solider being returned home. Regardless of the reason, if a flight receives a water cannon salute, it's because that flight has some special significance.

[@RoadsOfAsiaBen]

@@sla31 LOL, not sure why my autocorrect does that. It does this sometimes.

[@zachmatt3]

Seems like it's usually a bit bumpy on approach over land. When I was there in 1984, I believe I was in a 737. It was crazy bumpy that time.

[@rexx9496]

I think that's kind of normal in tropical area. Every time I fly into Cancun it's bumpy the same way once you get down below 10,000ft.

[@harrymallory7963]

Took off and went right upstairs didnt it?

[@harrymallory7963]

and they sure put a lot of blue dye in that water around the island dont they?

[@vasilicastoica6785]

Foarte frumos se vede de sus 😃😃😃😃👍👍👍👍

[@wandacapstick5476]

Is this the flight from Seattle to Maui?

[@sla31]

Yes, it is. Thanks for watching!

[@vasilicastoica6785]

Salutari din Romania Prietene🙋🙋🙋🙋,as zbura si eu cu Tine,cand ne vom intalni?✈✈✈😃😃📹

[@TheDonny2014thedonny2014]

Do you know why the baby was crying? Because this is about the stage where your ears "pop" because of the change in air pressure and that can be painful; especially if you have a cold. Plus the steep banks the plane was doing and it being a bit bumpy. Some grownups find that scary especiallyif it's their first flight. Just saying. Awesome video. I just love how you always for the most part post the whole flight from push-pack to shutdown when the plane arrives at its final destination

[@WolfgangLunar]

I have a lot of memories of flying to OGG. I've been to Maui 13 times in my life. I always got excited when I took off. I had a tradition of watching the classic Spongebob episodes In-Flight. It set the right mood when traveling to Maui. I do have a question since you frequently fly there. How is it nowadays? Is it difficult to travel to Hawaii during the pandemic? Is there anything others should know if they consider traveling to Maui or any other Islands?

[@sla31]

I wouldn't call it difficult to travel to Hawaii now. It was in the early phases of the pandemic. Before the vaccines and tests were so readily available. Now you just have to fill out a questionnaire online and provide your vaccine card or a negative Covid test. Then you get a wristband when you check in to show you've done that and can walk right out of the airpot just like any other time. It's a bit of an inconvience, but I wouldn't call it difficult. As for the islands themselves. Traffic an be a nightmare on pretty much all of them, but I'm not sure that's anything new. They're expensive too, but again, I think that's always been the case haha. I wouldn't ever tell anyone not to go to Hawaii. Personally, I think it's one of the best places I've ever visited. And I never tire of going and I've been there a lot now.

[@taelius2663]

The A330 can utilize a runway that’s just under 7,000 feet long?

[@sla31]

Yeah. And 777's and 787's. All are frequently used for flights to OGG.

[@vasilicastoica6785]

Timp liber⛳⛳,am observat de jos,ca unele avioane lasa urme pe cer ,ce inseamna?✈✈✈😃😃

Condensarea umezelii din aer din cauza gazelor fierbinți de eșapament de la motoare.

[@soranogaruda]

There are so many Alaska planes at Seattle ! More than Anchorage I guess lol

[@sla31]

Yes. SEA is their main hub. It's also where they're based. Their headquarters and all. Their name suggests their based in Alaska, but that is not the case. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@soranogaruda]

@@sla31 I didn't know that actually ! Thanks for the explanation

[@WingsViews1]

How long is the runway there??

[@alohapeter]

Short very short always a nail biter for me

[@tomsamuelson8512]

The runway they used is 6998 ft. The other runway there is 4960 ft.

[@Collin2377]

I think you might write whatever you need for people who have no idea what SEA or OGG means. Just my thoughts.

[@sla31]

I understand not everyone knows the FAA airport codes. However, KZbin limits the number of characters in a title to 100. That's not much space to work with. If I typed out Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to Kahului Airpot, or even Seattle Washington to Kahului Hawaii, that's 1/2 to 2/3 of my title space gone. Since the FAA airport codes are widely accepted abbreviations, they're the easiest piece of information to abbreviate, that a lot of people will already be familiar with. Again though, I know not everyone knows them. That's why I spell everything out, in detail, in the video's description. This incudes every city/airpot with the corresponding codes right next to them. This makes it as easy as possible for people to see the code, reference the description, and easily be able to know what SEA or OGG is. I mean, the alternative is "Full Flight - HAL - A332 - Seattle-Tacoma International Airport to Kahului Airpot - N389HA - HA29 - IFS ep 444." Which is actually more than 100 characters. So, if I spell out the cities/airports, I have to abbreviate every other piece of information, and it's still too long. Anyways, this is why I list the airports by their codes. If anyone is unsure of what a code is, that full information is listed in the destruction. Thanks for watching my friend.

[@Howrider65]

The most boring flights ever I have been on flights from San Fran and LAX to Hawaii and the only flights I pass out on nothing but water to see.
