Update: HNL Arrival and eqparture Procedures
Update: We've received feedback that the HNL North Six Arrival procedure could result in a challenging turn from Base Leg to Final Approach for RWY 4L or 4R. While the following Notice as originally sent addresses the current situation, we want to emphasize that safety is always THE most important concern - nothing else comes close. Accordingly, pilots should consider requesting an alternate arrival or offshore vectors and must be cognizant of all potential risk factors, especially current winds. This is particularly true if there is a tailwind on the base leg before making the turn to final approach.On the North
HNL Airport Arrival and Departure Procedures
Arrival and departure procedures are being strictly interpreted at Daniel K. Inouye International Airport (HNL), especially since the January 23, 2025 reopening of Runway 4R-22L (and temporary closure of RWY 4L-22R). To avoid a potential pilot deviation, precise compliance with arrival and departure procedures is required; for one example, aircraft on the North Six Arrival must cross RWY 8L at the specific crossing point detailed in the arrival procedure. As ever, all pilots are reminded to review all current NOTAMS and all applicable arrival and departure procedures before operating at HNL Airport.

New HNL ASDE-X Function 15 DEC 2020
On Tuesday, December 15, 2020, the Daniel K. Inouye International Airport ASDE-X ground radar will be updated with ATAP (ASDE Taxiway Arrival Prediction software) to prevent wrong-surface landings on taxiways, If an arriving aircraft (fixed wing or helicopter) 3000 ft. or below lines up with a protected taxiway for 20 seconds or longer in the taxiway alert region, the taxiway alert will go off in the tower and the controllers MUST issue a mandatory “go-around” and aircraft MUST be resequenced due to pilot loss of situational awareness. This update will cause more “nuisance” go-arounds for helicopters if they inadvertently line up to a

Construction at Daniel K. Inouye (HNL) International Airport
The extended runway-improvement construction at HNL Airport has begun and this work will continue over several years. At the very least during this period we need to: anticipate taxi instructions that may be unfamiliar; have an airport diagram available at all times so as to be certain of our taxi instructions and routings; and be prepared to immediately stop and request clarification or progressive taxi instructions any time a pilot might become uncertain of their position on the airport. Just a quick reminder, our controllers would much prefer to provide progressive taxi instructions than to deal with a Surface Incident or Runway Incursion. The
