NJA Hawker 800xp question

[Jack Mehoff]

Does the 800xp have a PFD or just the 2 tubes for attitude and heading?

 

[CA1900]

Depends on the model; we have two versions of the 800XP, one with Honeywell avionics (separate screens), and one with Collins Proline 21 (PFD). They're operated as separate fleets; a pilot will only fly one model or the other.


Here's a NetJets plane with the Collins setup:

Here one with the Honeywell (not NetJets, but should be similar):

Did you get the XP or the XPC? The XP is steam, the XPC is PFD:beer:

 

[Jack Mehoff]

I got the XP. I figured the XP was steam, looking at that pic seems like a goofy scan with the altimiter off the side.

Welcome to NetJets and the 800XP. It is a step back from the airplanes with the PFD and MFD set up. It will take a few sim sessions to get used to the scan but after that it becomes second nature. If you have any questions fell free to pm me.

Holy crap! That is one large speed brake handle.

 

[Willy21]

It is not a speed brake, think British, it is an air brake.

You'll also learn about fuel cocks, earthing spigots, The value of D, gear pins, and all sorts of goofy, 1950's vintage, British stuff that the U.K. simply REFUSES to change.

The seats are great, and she's built like a tank, though.

Welcome to..... "Jurassic Jets"

 

[Jack Mehoff]

are the flight controls cable or hydraulic in the hawker 800xp?

 

[Mike Jenvey]

Fly-by-wire ....... all cables! Flown both versions, very nice to fly. The Collins Proline 21 is a dream to use!
