Hi all.. Today I decided to do a long haul with the lovely 737-300. I dont do long haul that often since I prefer shorter flights, but wanted to push the limits with this bird. The flight was from Las Vegas (KLAS) to Honolulu (PHNL). Route distance is 2469nm and the flight was estimated to take 6h25min, with a average headwind of 34knots. I really had to kick out some passengers to be able to do this flight. So the ZFW was only 38.4 tons and with 16 tons of fuel. Flightplan: As you can see I planned with CI 0 to get the max range. The cruise level was FL360. (Step climb at HEC) Planning tool is PFPX. 4h30m into the flight. Soon top of descent. Finally see some land And at the gate. I landed safely on 08L PHNL after 6h30m with 2.4 tons of fuel left. Just as planned. The fuel usage was spot on all the flight. Always interesting to see for every waypoint you pass if you are ahead or behind on fuel. But no supprises today From vataware: https://vataware.com/flight/59883dfd5352336271000002 What is your longest flight with this bird ?

Since Im on this long haul adventure I decided to do another one.. Im actually thinking of flying the whole way back to europe. I dont have any specific route, so I just planned to continue from PHNL and to a suitable airport. Ended up with PKMJ (Marshalls IS INTL). Dident knew anything about that airport, PFPX was showing runway lenght of 2412m so that sounded perfect. Im enroute now and just checked the charts and some pictures of the destination airport. And I got a bit surprised Glad this island is wide enough to fit this airport

I don't believe that is not an aircraft issue. You need to probably look elsewhere on that one.
