2h 24', none, HI01 Approach to Hilo was perfect, but I had to insist heavily on the throtttle. When I did the final checks, I realized that did the whole approach with the speedbrake out! Boo boo

HI30 Because the flight is short I choose just 10% fuel in the 767 and 10.000ft FL. Well, the 767 skyrocketed to that altitude, then I cut the power, levelled, completed the route, descent, approach and landing all at idle. I know that the big high-bypass turbofans are fuel-savers, but that ???

HI31 To save time, I choose to land on RWY26, with the angled, anti-noise (I suppose) ILS approach. It seemed hairy, but I put the 767 gear right on the centerline.

HI170 I really couldnít resist to test this excellent aircraft in our beautiful islands. The passengers were delighted by this fast, safe and quiet plane. They didnít miss the ATR.

HI01 HNL-ITO: 37min

HI02 ITO-HNL 39 min, 1h16min, Flights completed on 4.0b12. Folks, look forward to 4.0. The Islands are really beautiful, frame rates >25fps. As the NAVaids are not yet reliably working I decided to use my nice map of the hawaiian and do VFR at FL190. I used the 737 with the united colour scheme, it seems to have little drag and brakes way too fast on the runway (has to be modified).

2 visuals. Yaw damper problem (3.6 Mac) seems to be fixed (PC 4b12)
