ABNORMAL HANDLING
Hawker 800XP Pro Line 21
Section V - FLIGHT HANDLING
Runway Selection
Use the longest runway that avoids suspected areas of windshear.
The choice also involves consideration of exposure to obstacles after lift off and crosswind and tailwind
limitations.
Take-off Flap Selection
No recommendations have been determined for the use of specific flap settings on takeoff for the
Hawker 800XP Pro Line 21 series airplane.
Increased Rotation Airspeed
1. Determine V
1
, V
R
, and V
2
speeds for actual airplane gross weight and flap setting.
2. Set airspeed bugs to these values in the normal manner.
3. Determine field length limit maximum weight and corresponding V
R
for selected runway.
4. If field length limit V
R
is greater than actual gross weight V
R
, use the higher V
R
(up to 20 knots in
excess of actual gross weight V
R
) for takeoff. Airspeed bugs should not be reset to the higher speed.
5. Rotate to normal initial climb attitude (approximately 12° dependent on take-off weight and flap
setting) at the increased V
R
and maintain this attitude.
If increased airspeed is not used prior to take-off, acceleration to higher than normal airspeed after
takeoff is not recommended, as pitch attitude reduction at low altitude might produce a hazard if
windshear were encountered.
WARNING:
IF WINDSHEAR IS ENCOUNTERED AT OR BEYOND THE ACTUAL GROSS
WEIGHT (BUG) V
R
, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE TO THE INCREASED
V
R
, BUT ROTATE WITHOUT HESITATION.
IN NO CASE SHOULD ROTATION BE DELAYED BEYOND 2000 FEET FROM THE
END OF THE USABLE RUNWAY SURFACE.
