Leg The Next

On to SFO


Climbing out of Honolulu

This leg is a long one: The GPS says 2018nm as I sit at the gate, so I'm going to do everything I can to conserve fuel. I'm going to cruise at FL310, 210KIAS (M 0.72). I'm also going to reduce the climb rate from 1,800 feet per minute to 1,200.

The flight's uneventful, good weather the whole way, including at SFO (!). Even fairly reasonable vectors in to 10R. Nice views of the Golden Gate and the city off to the left on approach, touched down just as the sun was going down (yeah, I adjusted the world clock a tad for effect.)
