Kalopa Posted July 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2013 The weather was spectacular for a little cross county in theCarat. Molokai out and back approx. 250 NM and 4 hours on the Hobbs.

Registered Eric Greenwell Posted September 1, 2013 Registered Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Were you able to stay within gliding distance of an airport as you flew between the islands? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Steve Sliwa Posted December 3, 2015 Report Share 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.
