RAYTHEON AIRCRAFT COMPANY HAWKER 800XP
Everything here is true of every aircraft of the type, not of any one aircraft.
The Hawker 800XP descends from the de Havilland DH.125 of 1962 and carries that lineage in its structure: a heavily built, straight-sided fuselage with the widest and most comfortable cabin of any midsize jet of its era. It seats eight comfortably, flies 2,540 nautical miles at 448 knots, and has a reputation among passengers, rather than among pilots, as the nicest aeroplane in its class to spend three hours in. It was sold from 1995 to 2005, and the one change within that run is the flight deck: from serial 258567 onward (plus three earlier airframes, 258278, 258541 and 258556) the aircraft carry the Collins Pro Line 21 glass suite, approved in November 2001, in place of the earlier Honeywell panel; from mid-2005 the same aircraft with Pro Line 21, IFIS and a new interior was marketed as the 800XPi, a name that does not appear on the registry. That is the difference between an avionics upgrade bill and none. The 850XP of 2006 is this aircraft with factory winglets and an updated interior.
The cabin is what you buy and the engines are what you pay for. The Honeywell TFE731-5BR requires a Major Periodic Inspection well before its overhaul interval, and on an aircraft of this age the engine programme status is the single largest determinant of value — an off-programme 800XP with high-time engines can cost more to make serviceable than to buy. It is a two-crew aeroplane. The 41,000 ft ceiling is lower than its competitors, which costs it some efficiency on long legs. Support passed from Raytheon to Hawker Beechcraft and then to Textron, and parts availability, while adequate, is not what it was.

- Each of the five categories places the model within its peer class, from 0 (the worst of the class) to 10 (the best): a position among comparable models, not a grade. The overall score is the sum of the categories shown that are scored, out of 10 for each (50 when all five are); it is given only when at least 4 of the five are scored, and it can be set against another model's only when both are in the same peer class and scored on the same categories.
