Flight Reports are placed here from our famous world class pilots.

They are reported in the order in which I recieve them ie: The first one who files gets the first listing.

Bruno Glaviano

HI 50 16' ATR-42

HI 72 21' ATR-42

HI 81 21' B757

HI 100 41' B757

HI 115 57' B757

HI 503 72' B757

HI 506 46' A340

, 4 h 34', none, HI 50: I needed Patrick Richardson's help to realize that Hooleua is "good 0l'" Molokai PHMK. I was so happy to complete this flight that I did another hop to Kalaupapa. I need to practise ATR's VRF landings.

HI81: I set the weather to random and I landed in a rainstorm

HI115: this time random put me in a tropical storm with wind-shear, to make things more interesting, when I was on short final the "average failure rate" turned all my flight instruments (the main EFIS) off. I landed using rwy lights, "back of my pants" and some litres of adrenaline. But it ended very smoothly.

HI503: again, random put me in a storm, with windshear at FL250. I will ask Austin to rename random to "worst" weather. Anyway I landed safely at Geneva, then crossed the Alps at FL150 to show the passengers the top of Mont Blanc, then did a nice holding pattern over Novara NDB and landed at Milan Malpensa after a very interesting flight.

HI101c KOA to ITO 0.4 hours

HI102c ITO to KOA 0.4

HI103c KOA to LIH 0.9

HI104c LIH to KOA 0.8, 2.5, Flew KOA-ITO-KOA round trip in the MD80. Mission uneventful. Used the 747 for the longer LIH round trip. ATC vectored us to intercept the ILS more abruptly than the autopilot was willing to turn the airplane, resulting in a missed approach at Lihue. Returning to KOA, we delegated altitude and airspeed to the autopilot, but flew assigned headings by hand, reserving the NAV2 hold until we were established inbound.

Tomas Nittner

took off from kona international with a vintage dc 6, beautiful weather for starters. went up to 10 000 ', then the weather turned bad on me. in order to get my passengers a view of the sights i asked for permission to go down to 5000, granted. passed over the islands of maui and molokai (going right through a thunderstorm (sorry guys!). by the time we got to honolulu it cleared up beautifully, made a greaser on runway 8 left and unloaded the ratpack., 1 hour 10 minutes,

HI30 28 min

HI31 23 min

HI80 24 min

HI85 30 min, 1h45min, Went back to ver. 4.12

4.13 freezes to often., Did we change the equipment of all flights to Kahului to 767? I picked a 737, hope this didn¥t upset the customers.

Practized some landings at HNL 08 with serious windshears (v4.13, 737). A good control of thrust is mandatory since I got several times strong tailwinds. Working on pedals and throttle now (keyboardthrottle is way too slow in such weather). ,
