54í 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. Don Willis Flight time to LAX 1.8

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) Kay Nemoto HS70/71 0:40 B737 HS80/81 0:48 B737 HS82/83 0:52 B737 Johnathan Hayman DATE FLIGHT EQUIP DEPART DEST
