A real difference.

If you are looking to fly a meticulously maintained, always hangared, technologically advanced airplane, then you have come to the right place.

Corrosion can take a toll on high time four decade old rental aircraft.  We made the investment required for discerning aviators like you.

For example; we change the oil approximately every 25 hours and send to the lab each time. This way you can feel confident when flying over the ocean that internally everything is running smoothly.

Why we don’t rent without an MFA CFI.

Flying the islands in a state of the art air conditioned Cirrus SR22 with your factory trained instructor is a treat. But don’t take our word for it. Read the reviews by professional pilots at the bottom of the page below.

We do have seasonal AOPA specials too, so call or chat with Regina and inquire what we have going on.

Your guests will appreciate the noise cancelling symphonic headsets, GoPro camera, life raft, wearable lap vests and of course, the Cirrus parachute system.

We are often asked by pilots from the mainland “how come it’s pricey?

Hawaii is not an inexpensive place to operate.

AvGas currently at $7.24 per gallon. Add on fixed costs such as hangar, property tax, time critical items such as engine reserves, parachute reserves, and of course labor and shipping.

Layer on all the real costs of ownership like aircraft mortgage, insurance, marketing, workers comp, payroll and you can appreciate what it takes to run a quality school.

• With over a half million dollars invested we take great care and pride in operating it in a very specific manner.
• Regardless of your flying experience, Hawaii is a unique operating environment. You are flying over water. Choose an aircraft with the latest in safety devices and accessories.
• "I've only flown Cessna and Piper equipment." Expand your horizons. Fly something made this century.
• Each airport also has "unique" procedures that local pilots understand, everything from noise abatement, places to avoid and places to see.
• There are "spots" around the islands that can be quite windy/turbulent and you can avoid them by knowing at what altitudes or course to use to circumnavigate the rough patch.
• Your instructors can handle the radios for you (Hawaiian words used in checkpoints are not the easiest to say or locate), and act as your "expert guide" to the experience, taking photos, video and sharing cool facts about the islands.
• As an additional safety measure, your instructor's vest is a "batman belt" of safety equipment including (waterproof cell phone, EPRB, 100 yard reflective tape, glow sticks, first aid, water, 5 minute scuba spare air bottle and a whistle). We maintain the latest survival and safety equipment.
• "I have thousands of hours, I don't need an instructor" We hear that a lot. We don't doubt your ability, we want you to have fun and let us take care of the little details so you can marvel looking out the window!

Is this what you want to fly? We didn't think so either. This rental aircraft has no hangar and sits out in the elements. What do you think the internal components look like on the inside? Is that something you'd fly over the ocean?
