Tour Description Booklet Last updated: 5/5/2021 Kona: Circle Island Experience DEPARTS: KONA / FLIGHT TIME: 2 hrs* You flew all this way to Hawai‘i ...SHOULDN'T YOU SEE IT ALL? We certainly think so! That's why we created the ONLY COMPLETE HELICOPTER TOUR AROUND HAWAI‘I ISLAND - not just parts of it! Yes, the Island of Hawai’i really is a “Big Island” and Paradise’s Circle Island Experience is the only helicopter tour in Hawai‘i that ventures south to encompass the entire island, and we do it in just over two hours! Starting from the Kona International Airport at the island’s western-most tip, your pilot takes you past the Kona coffee district and slopes of Mauna Loa to the southernmost town in the United States. You’ll be amazed when viewing one of only four green sand beaches in the world! Next, your pilot will take you to view what was the world’s most active volcano, and continue towards the crater that was previously Pu‘u ‘Ō‘ō Vent. After over 35 years of activity, discover what Kīlauea Volcano has left in the wake of its recent historic eruptive episode. Witness otherworldly landscapes like the incredible 8-mile river of frozen lava from Fissure 8 to the Pacific Ocean, the newest black sand beaches on earth, and enormous craters created by these recent events! Then, turn to the east, the island’s lush windward side and Hilo town. Notice how water now flows where lava once did, gushing out of sheer cliffs through lava tubes, creating hundreds of waterfalls, and nourishing the rich vegetation. The grandeur of the Kohala valleys and waterfalls of the north are sure to catch your breath, as are the white sand beaches on your return to Kona.

There are a number ofland use decisions and developments that can greatly affect the safety of the airport zones and flight patterns. Some of these include reflective surfaces Qike building facades and solar panels), zip lines, communications towers, wind turbines, other structure nearing 200 feet or higher, and wildlife habitats. As directed by the Airport Division, we should be looking for any ofthe above mentioned hazards that are proposed within 5 miles of an airport. Our GIS staffwill be adding a layer into the GIS system noting this 5 mile radius. lf we receive an application with a questionable hazard, we should report it to the HOOT Airport Division and require the applicant to provide a letter of no effect or approval with conditions from that division. Reflective surfaces and tower like structures are relatively easy to identi1Y, but wildlife habitats may DOt be as obvious.

  • FAA Runway Safety Report FY 2000
    FAA Runway Safety Report Runway Incursion Trends and Initiatives at Towered Airports in the United States, FY 2000 – FY 2003 August 2004 Preface THE 2004 RUNWAY SAFETY REPORT1 presents an assessment of runway safety in the United States for fiscal years FY 2000 through FY 2003. The report also highlights runway safety initiatives intended to reduce the severity, number, and rate of runway incursions. Both current progress and historical data regarding the reduction of runway incursions can be found on the Federal Aviation Administration’s (FAA) web site (http://www.faa.gov). Effective February 8, 2004, the FAA implemented an organizational change that created an Air Traffic Organization (ATO) in addition to its Regulatory functions. Safety Services, within the ATO, has assumed the responsibilities of the former Office of Runway Safety. Therefore, this FAA Runway Safety Report, which covers a period prior to the implemen- tation of the ATO, is the last in a series of reports that exclusively presents information on runway safety. Safety performance will be an integral part of future ATO products. 1 A glossary of terms and a list of acronyms used in this report are provided in Appendix A. Federal Aviation Administration 1 Executive Summary REDUCING THE RISKS OF RUNWAY INCURSIONS AND RUNWAY COLLISIONS is a top priority of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Runway safety management is a dynamic process that involves measuring runway incursions as well as understanding the factors that contribute to runway collision risks and taking actions to reduce these risks. Runway incursion severity ratings (Categories A through D) indicate the potential for a collision or the margin of safety associated with an event.
