JUST PRIOR TO CALLING CTR FOR IFR CLRNC; HEARD A RADIO CALL FROM A CESSNA XX INBOUND FOR LNDG. NO POS RPT WAS MADE. CONTACTED CTR AND RECEIVED AN IFR CLRNC TO HONOLULU WITH A VOID TIME OF 5 MINS. BY THIS TIME BOTH ENGS WERE STARTED AND TAXI TO RWY 08 COMMENCED WITH A RADIO CALL ON COMMON TA STATING ACR X TAXI FROM CARGO AREA TO RWY 08 DEPARTING TO THE NW. NEXT XMISSION WAS FROM CESSNA XX INBOUND FOR LNDG LOOKS LIKE IT'LL BE RWY 08. AGAIN NO POS RPT. WE ASK CESSNA TO GIVE US SOME IDEA WHERE YOU'RE AT. HE REPLIES OVER THE BAY; LNDG IN 5 MINS (NO RANGE GIVEN). TOTAL TIME FROM TAXI TO AIRBORNE APPROX 2 1/2 MINS FOR ACR X. PRIOR TO TAKING ACTIVE RWY 08 WE XMIT; 'ACR X DEPARTING RWY 08.'
