Arriving Runway 4L and 4R

United Airlines flight UA384 from Denver touched down in Honolulu on Runway 4R and exited the runway at 02:09:46Z.661 UTC 24 January (16:09 local time 23 Jan) at a speed of 27 knots onto Taxiway K. It crossed the hold short markers for RWY 8L-26R and 4L-22R on Taxiway K at 02:09:53Z.242 traveling 19 knots.

8 seconds prior, Kamaka Air flight 145 had touched down on the parallel Runway 4L and was completing its roll out. At 02:10:00Z.686 United 384 entered the runway area where 8L-26R and 4L-22R intersect Taxiway K at speed of 14 knots, exiting the runway area by 02:10:14Z.708. Note that the physical aircraft size is not represented by the ADS-B data point and coordinates are taken from only a single point on the airframe, so some parts of the aircraft may have been on the runway longer.
