What PHMU publishes

Instrument approaches at PHMU

Waimea-Kohala has 4 published instrument approaches of 2 types (RNAV (GPS) and VOR). 2 of them offer vertical guidance; RNAV (GPS) gives the lowest minimums. One is circling only — bringing you to the airport rather than a runway, to circle for whichever runway the wind favors at circling minimums.

Takeoff, alternate and surface information

  • Takeoff minimums are published for PHMU. Standard is 1 statute mile visibility for one and two engine aircraft (½ mile for more than two) unless this section says otherwise; Part 91 operators are not bound by them but the obstacle notes apply to everyone.
  • Waimea-Kohala has an obstacle departure procedure (ODP): the charted way to clear terrain and obstacles after takeoff in instrument conditions. ATC does not assign it; under Part 91 it is recommended rather than required, and it is what you fly when no SID or radar vectors have been given.
