The world’s
best-selling mid-size business jet is about to get better in
Brazil.
The Hawker 800XP equipped with Collins Pro Line 21 avionics has
received export approval from the Centro Tecnico Aeroespacial (CTA)
and the follow-up certification is expected soon. The first
delivery occurred in December to a customer in Sao Paulo.
The Hawker 800XP’s popularity stems from its versatility,
roomy interior and dependability in the mid-size range. In 2001,
Raytheon Aircraft certified the aircraft with Collins Pro Line 21
avionics, prompting one industry analyst to describe the aircraft
as “good for another 20 years.” Deliveries began in
2002 and to date, 90 Hawker 800XP with Collins Pro Line 21 avionics
have been delivered. Approximately 70 Hawkers fly in the Latin
American fleet.
“The beauty of
the Hawker 800XP is that it’s proven its value by being a
flexible, no-compromising workhorse for companies throughout the
world,” said Brad Hatt, President/General Manager of the
Hawker Division of Raytheon Aircraft.
The Collins Pro Line 21 avionics, now standard equipment, brings
state-of-the-art avionics to the flight deck, including 8x10-inch
flat panel displays, dual AHRS, dual FMS, and digital
autopilot.
The Hawker 800XP offers the largest cabin in its class, with
typical seating layouts for six to 10 passengers in a variety of
configurations. The cabin provides headroom and the ability to walk
around with ease during flight. The aircraft is fully furnished
with hot and cold galley facilities, an airliner-style toilet
compartment and a baggage compartment that is fully accessible in
flight. The Hawker 800XP is equipped with Honeywell TFE 731-5BR
turbofan engines.
