Title: First A-380 touches down in PHNL runway 4R from Cloud 9 LAX
Post by: moree on January 26, 2010, 08:19:04 pm
First touchdown into Hawaii from a A380, just another pit stop on its voyage around the world.

Loe the shots! But why is the plane parked in the cargo section?

Just fantastic shots!

I'd imagine Honolulu doesn't have any gate capabilities for the A380. ;)

lol actually i tried for it to go to a gate heavy but that was the gate assigned to me.. i was upset that they parked me over there too..... but according to the AFCAD that parking was a gate heavy thats why FEDEX MD11 was right next to me i think

Did your A380 line-up with Rwy 4R correctly (via GPS/ILS)? Or did you have to manually line it up yourself?  ???

Actually if you look good at the 3rd picture there you would notice my rudder was turned hard to the right to go to the terminal but once i called for taxi i had to make a 180 n that wasnt easy at all

I don't think PHNL can accommodate A380's. :o

No it worked perfectly with the Autopilot but i put in the ILS freq, and it flew it almost right to the ground, by the way that Approach for 4R was sweet....
