This is one of those I know a guy questions. I know a guy that is thinking about getting a Hawker 800A, 800B or 800XP. He has the performance info on the XP but wanted to know about the A and B.

The airport is on an island at about 300' elevation with a 4800' runway. There are no obstacles to think about. The question is, on a 25 degrees celsius day with 4 passengers and bags, how much fuel will they be able to take and what range with reserves will that give?

Thank you in advance.
 
You can depart right around 24,800 pounds. The standard airplane has a BOW of 16,400. Assuming 850 pounds of people and bags..that's 7,550 pounds of fuel. That's around 3.5 hours with an hour reserve.

Thank you. Would that be about 1400nm with no wind?
 
One note... our one airplane is a Honeywell 800A with T/R's at 16,600 BOW... Our other has Collins panel and no T/R's at 15,800...

Brakes and Lift dump make T/R's almost useless on all but snow (maybe)... The plane without them climbs better, and burns less with comparable weights...
 
Also... A and B mean American and British... As far as I know the only difference is (besides registration.. Cuz all those Brits are G's) Max altitude on British is 43,000... American is certified to only 41,000... Has to do with time to descend I believe.
