April 24, 201214 yr Hi all, I was wondering why,on the Onohi 1 out Maui Maui runway 2, They have you fly over rising terrain? It was pretty unnerving with the 737. I would think ATC would want you over the water. http://flightaware.com/resources/airport/PHOG/DP/ONOHI+ONE Jim Driscoll, MSI Raider GE76 12UHS-607 17.3" Gaming Laptop Computer - Blue Intel Core i9 12th Gen 12900HK 1.8GHz Processor; NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3080 Ti 16GB GDDR6; 64GB DDR5-4800 RAM; Dual M2 2TB Solid State Drives.Driving a Sony KD-50X75, and KDL-48R470B @ 4k 3724x2094,MSFS 2020, 30 FPS on Ultra Settings.

April 24, 201214 yr Actually, that departure is mostly above water, and one little part above shore of island, not even close that big mountain in the middle of island.

April 25, 201214 yr That area of the island is almost at sea level and you will indeed be climbing over water fairly quickly. As the other poster noted, no where near Haleakala. When I was visiting there last year it was interesting to watch inbounds from the north for Rwy 02. Chk out the IAP - RNAV (RNP) Z RWY 2. My flight from Hilo actually flew that route. BTW I watched a 777 fly it. Regards, Regards, Claude Franklin
April 25, 201214 yr Commercial Member I would think ATC would want you over the water. Honestly? We just want you on the procedure. Responsibility-wise: if you've been assigned that departure and you don't fly it properly and hit the mountain, it's on you. If we're vectoring you and you hit the mountain, it's on us. Obviously as a human being, we don't want you hitting a mountain, but we don't care what you're flying over as long as you're flying what you're supposed to. Kyle Rodgers
