      I'm glad you enjoyed this one my friend. I absolutely love taking flights like this. The smaller and more unique the better as far as I'm concerned. On the other hand. Most of the viewers on my channel here don't see it that way haha. The bigger the plane and the longer the flight, generally, the better the video performs. And as much as I'd love to just do whatever I fancied the most, as the person running this channel you'd think I would, but I have to make enough off the ads to keep buying new tickets, so I can keep posting content. And frankly, flights like this do very poorly where viewership is concerned. Which is kind of crazy considering I'd say this is probably one of the best thumbnails pictures I've ever had. This video is performing very poorly compared to other recent videos. Broadly speaking, most viewers aren't as interested in the small planes like this. So, anyway, I'm glad you enjoyed it, because I love making videos like this one.
      Also as KsBear2 mentioned, this was technically a commercial flight still, but definitely not in the same sense as what I usually post. So, I understand what you mean with that comment. Flying Mokulele is very different than a Hawaiian or Southwest inter-island flight. Only 9 seats, no flight attendant, no TSA security, you just show up 20 minutes before your flight, hop on, and go. So, without boring you with too many FAA regulations. Most of the US airlines operate under Federal Aviation Regulation part 121 as scheduled air carriers. American, Delta, Untied, Southwest, etc. Mokulele and other airlines like Cape Air, Southern Airways Express, Denver Air Connection, etc. operate under FAR part 135. Part 135 is for small charter, commuter and on-demand operations. It allows them to operate commercial flights outside of the more strict part 121 standards and it allows them to hire pilots with less total hours. However, they're limited to a very small number of passengers. I hope to be able to share more experiences like this in the future!

    Well, I certainly have no complaints about the scenery on that short but sweet flight. ;) Honestly, I was kinda surprised to see your Cessna cross the path of that plane landing on 08L (24:13). You then loop around, land and (I think) cross 08L again. I assume that the other plane had already landed and cleared 08L. Interesting. I didn't think that ATC would cut it that close.

    • @sla31
      @sla31  Рік тому +3

      I too found that interesting. I'd never flown this approach before, so this was all new to me. The other time I flew into HNL on Mokulele, several years ago, the weather was considerably worse, and we took a completely different approach. So don't quote me on this next part, as it's been a long time since I took one ATC class in college, and my flying knowledge of this is limited to my private pilots license. But... There is the "visual separation" practice that can be used by ATC and pilots if the weather is good and conditions allow. There are FAA separation minimums, but I think those can e be discarded if the pilots and ATC can clearly keep "visual separation." Again, I could be remembering all of this completely wrong, and perhaps a commercial pilot or air traffic controller can chime in, but I think I'm at least on the right trail here. It's likely the Mokulele and Hawaiian flights were given the traffic alerts, both reported each other in sight, and obviously the controllers could see both, so it allows them to tighten things up.

    Next stop,Joplin,er....Honolulu! LOL! I'm sure you'd go insane if you had to fly home in this Cessna! Imagine the number of fuel stops to Missouri! Guessing top altitude was roughly 5000',no pressurization? Loving that cockpit door! Bulletproof and secure! :) How many routes does Mokulele have? This is literally an ETOPS plane "Engine Turning Or Passengers Swimming"! Do you have to clear TSA at such a small airport? Where did connect to?

    • @sla31
      @sla31  Рік тому

      You're correct. No pressurization. I'm not sure what our final altitude was, but it couldn't have been much more than 5,000, if that. Mokulele offers around 10 routes throughout Hawaii and they're currently the only airline serving the two smaller inhabited islands of Molokai and Lanai. Since the aircraft have only 9 seats, they do not fall under the TSA's view. They operated under a completely different operating certificate as the major airlines, so no TSA is required. That said, if you're flying to HNL to connect onto another fight, best give yourself a few hours to connect as you'll have to clear TSA once you arrive in Honolulu. The Mokulele terminal is completely separate from the main terminals at HNL and a complementary shuttle is provided for passengers with connections.

    This reminds me of Cape Air in their Cessna 402Cs. I never flew with Cape Air, only worked for them. Seems like 208s and 402s are about the same size.

    • @sla31
      @sla31  Рік тому

      They're roughly the same size, yes. The C208 is actually bigger even though it has only one engine. Of course, the turboprop engine on the 208 allows for that over the two piston engines on the 402's. They both hold 8 or 9 people though. The 208 gas about 1,000 lbs more payload capacity than the 402, again despite having only one engine. Just shows how much more powerful a turboprop is.

      Haha, actually I was wearing my trademark shoes, but... As if often the case with these small flights, there isn't as much.... What's the word.... There isn't as much regimentation. It's often quite laid back. No security, no flight attendant, no rules about where your bags have to be, etc. So, my bag was literally on my feet because it didn't fit under the seat, and the flight crew was starting the engines within a minute of us all being onboard. So, there wasn't much time to get those shots ether. Sometimes, I have to leave the best shot out to get the flight hahaha.

      Yes, there is a free shuttle that runs between the Mokulele terminal and the other main terminals. Of course, on Mokulele you don’t go through security. So if you are connecting to another airline, you still have to clear security once you get to the other terminals.
