HCF Pilot Passport Challenge

What is the HCF Pilot Passport Challenge?

Are you tired of flying the same routes to the same airports? Do you need a new mission? Are you interested in being more proficient as a pilot? Do you enjoy the service provided by one of the top facilities in VATUSA? Then this challenge is for you! This is a unique quest for VATSIM pilots to visit airfields within the Honolulu Virtual ARTCC's airspace boundary. Challenge yourself to visit airfields served by Honolulu Virtual Air Traffic Controllers and build your skills as a pilot by flying new approaches and taxiing on unfamiliar surfaces. We offer three distinct paths: Honolulu's bigger airports, its smaller airports, and Guam.

What's in it for me?

Pilots who enroll and meet milestones of the challenge will be recognized on the HCF website. You'll have the opportunity to fill up a virtual passport book with stamps for each airfield you visit. Upon completion of a path, you’ll get a badge and a certificate of completion suitable for framing.

How do I get started?

Start at the top of this page and login. Then, enroll in our challenge and pick your path. Each time you visit an airport, you’ll get a stamp in your passport. To earn a stamp, you should plan a full-stop landing at a qualifying airport and spend at least 5 minutes on the ground before departing.
