Question for Hawaii (especially Maui) Pilots:

[DrBenny]

How the hell do you fly light aircraft in those ferocious winds!

 

[A300Capt]

What winds?

 

[Bert]

Very carefully...and KNOW how to slip on landing.

I've had some great experiences flying around the Hawaiian Islands and as we all know from the message board that included some crazy crosswinds. I guess just like Albie said the key would be slips. I've found the strongest winds to be at Honolulu and Maui. Fly Safe.

Hey i am going to be out in maui for a few weeks this summer, anyone know where i can rent an aircraft to do some sight seeing around there.

 

[I_Money]

Yeah, the airport!

There are a couple of FBOs at OGG. You can't fly to Kapalua, but you *can* fly to Hana--and it really is heavenly!
