CFII CONDUCTING STUDENT TRAINING IN THE HNL AREA HAS A NMAC WITH A LIGHT TWIN NEAR A FIX THAT IS USED BY RETURNING ACFT MAKING INITIAL CALL TO APCH CTL.

Narrative

RPTING ACFT WAS RETURNING TO HONOLULU (HOME BASE) FROM TRAINING AT JRF AT 2000 FT MSL IN VMC CONDITIONS NEAR SUGAR MILL INTXN; WITH A STUDENT PLT AT THE CTLS. STUDENT WAS ATTEMPTING TO MAKE INITIAL XMISSION TO HONOLULU APCH CTL WITH ATIS INFO. STUDENT'S CALL WAS DELAYED BY TFC CONGESTION AND 3 OR MORE OTHER ACFT IN THE IMMEDIATE PROX. WHILE IN A LEVEL; L TURN NEAR SUGAR MILL INTXN; THE CFII OBSERVED A LIGHT TWIN ACFT APCHING SUGAR MILL INTXN; CLOSING RAPIDLY ON ACFT X; HEAD ON. THE CFII TOOK COMMAND OF THE ACFT; TOOK EVASIVE ACTION; AND NOTIFIED APCH CTL OF THE NEAR MISS; AND AFTER ARR. CALLED THE HONOLULU TWR CHIEF TO DISCUSS THE INCIDENT. THE TWR CHIEF APPEARED TO CONCUR WITH THE CFII THAT THE CURRENT PROCS FOR VFR ACFT DEPARTING AND ARRIVING HONOLULU WERE DIFFICULT AND MADE WORSE BY A TEMPORARY FLT RESTR STILL IN EFFECT AT HONOLULU; AND WHICH FORCES ARRIVING AND DEPARTING ACFT INTO A VERY LIMITED AIRSPACE. HE WAS NOT ENCOURAGING ABOUT FINDING SOLUTIONS. THIS TYPE OF CONFLICT CAN BE MINIMIZED BY REOPENING THE FORMER TFC APCHS THROUGH CLASS B AIRSPACE OVERLYING PEARL HARBOR AND WESTERN ARR PATTERNS CURRENTLY RESTR TO ACRS AND US MIL ACFT; AS INTENDED AFTER THE TEMPORARY FLT RESTRS WERE NO LONGER IMPERATIVE. ANOTHER PROPOSED RESOLUTION MIGHT BE ALLOWED LOWER ARRIVING GA ACFT RETURNING FROM JOHN ROGERS FIELD (KALAELOA) TO APCH HONOLULU (PHNL) LOW-LEVEL ALONG SHORELINE; AS CURRENTLY DONE FOR MIL ROTARY WING.
