Should have been more specific, is their
A particular SB one must comply with?
Why did they certify it with two variants?

I believe it was certification in the US vs the rest of the world- the 800A is certified to FL 410 and the 800B to FL 430.

Sorry can't be more helpful.

The difference is that the A is certified to FAA standards and the B is certified to UK standards. There are some differences. Like max altitude. The B can not be N numbered. However, a B can be converted to an A. Before Beech took over the Hawker, you could do it via a SB. But now you have to go through Beech to get it done. And their paperwork is serial number specific. Also, Beech will only do one set of conversation documents at a time. I did a 600 many years ago and we waited 3 months for the paperwork and another 2 months for Beech to do the work.

If you do that I strongly suggest that you have a mechanic babysit the aircraft during the process.
