Special Notes:
- Aircraft on the MAGGI3 arrival into PHNL: Depart CKH heading 220.  DO NOT TURN DIRECT PHNL AFTER CKH.
- Aircraft who file SAKKI5 will be assigned JULLE5.
- All aircraft departing to oceanic airspace PLEASE set your sim time to REAL TIME.  This helps with position reports.

We're hoping for a big turnout.  Looking forward to seeing everyone!  Be sure to listen to ATC, heed their instructions, and be clear, quick, and concise on frequency.

Mahalo!

Added some preferred routing.  For pilots that aren’t aware of them, check out PHNL’s VFR departure and arrival procedures here:

Definitely recommend VFR around the island using the preferred routing above.  Those who may not want to commit to a oceanic crossing, or island hopping will find tight airspace, terrain challenges, and beautiful scenery.  The HNL controllers recently did a great job accommodating me as a VFR flight.

It's tomorrow!! Looking forward to seeing everyone come out.  We will be fully staffed with centers, TRACONs, and local at PHNL and PHOG, plus a few satellites. 

For an added challenge, become familiar with our published VFR departure and arrival procedures located here:
