On 9/1/2013 7:29:51, Eric Greenwell said: Were you able to stay within gliding distance of an airport as you flew between the islands? Eric, Sorry I never responded to you question earlier. No It is not possible to fly between island and stay within gliding distance of an airport. I do always use VFR flight following with Honolulu Center so if there is a problem I am already squawking a discrete code and talking to them so they know exactly where I am. Since I learned to fly in Hawaii back in 1977 I have made numerous inter-island flights in a variety of single engine airplanes so an inter-island flight in the Carat did not seem to be something out of the ordinary. Since I purchased my Carat in 2010 I have been impressed with it's dependability and lack of problems and I do often fly it as I would any other single engine airplane. Joe L. Quote
Steve Sliwa Posted December 3, 2015 Report Posted December 3, 2015 On my honeymoon I rented a Cessna C-172 and flew from Oahu to Molokai to Maui and back. My bride loved it and she became a pilot flying in several Air Race Classics and Great Southern Air Races. So I have fond memories of that route myself. Quote
