All overwater legs should be, and are for FAR 121 ops, with a dry footprint--in either event or a combination of events, sufficient fuel remains to continue or return from the ETP to land with appropriate reserves. I rather doubt the small Cessnas can make Hawaii "dry".

Yeah and Cessna's sales literature just shows a range map showing we can take him to his home in Hawaii backed up from the sales rep telling him it will do it! Seems like I read somewhere that not even the first gen "classic" Falcon 2000's could do Hawaii legally?
