Has anybody seen or used a gravel kit on a Hawker 800?

Thanks FD

I've never seen or heard of one for the Hawker, Lears and Citations yes. You'll see them on some Boeings up in Canada and Alaska. Check the AFM, I bet there's a limitation as to the runway surface required.

FD,

I've never seen a gravel kit for the Hawker but the U-125 (military version of the 800) can operate off of gravel so I bet there is a mod out there... whether it carries FAA approval might be a different story.

Thanks, I haven't found one yet but still looking.

I'd give the folks at FSI or Simuflite a call. They'd probably know if it had been done before.

Hey FD,

I agree w/ 'Sled... those guys know everything it seems. I did a little digging through my notes - you might also see if you can get your hands on SB-57-63, 57-80, 33-56. These were service bulletins for "rough runway" protection. I think they were primarily about protection for the flaps and beacon but they may shed some light on the subject. Sorry I don't have more but I haven't been on the Hawker in awhile.

I flew a DH (pre HS) 125-1A for a few months and remember Flight Safety discussing gravel runway operation having been done, but not anything on modifications. If nothing else, it's got to be tough on cosmetics.

My AFM is in storage, but you've gotten me curious.

Lead Sled, nice avatar.

Give your FSR a call. That person will know.

Not saying a word.

Screen saver in SBA?

 

[sbav8r]

Nevermind, now I know where your talking about.

Hey guys don't think for a minute that I had anything to do with that Avatar. It was only there for that thread a few days ago about banner towing and low flying. I have no idea what SBA is, but you ought to checkout www.supercub.org for a lot of great Cub photos.

Oops. I knew that. Actually it is Mercury Aviation @ SBA. On the computer in the "dining" area. Actually, I was the one that put up that screen saver there the last time we were there. I was bored. It was an interesting picture.
