Pilot’s Operating Manual
Revision A1: Nov, 2002
Hawker 800XP Pro Line 21
Section VII - SAFETY INFORMATION
Airplanes operated for Air Taxi or other than normal operation, and airplanes operated in humid tropics,
or cold and damp climates, etc., may need more frequent inspections for wear, corrosion and/or lack of
lubrication. In these areas, periodic inspections should be performed until the operator can establish
inspection periods based on experience (FAA Approval required).
NOTE: The required periods do not constitute a guarantee that the item will reach the period without
malfunction, as the aforementioned factors cannot be controlled by the manufacturer.
Corrosion and its effects must be treated at the earliest possible opportunity. A clean, dry surface is
virtually immune to corrosion. Make sure that all drain holes remain unobstructed. Protective films and
sealants help to keep corrosive agents from contacting metallic surfaces. Corrosion inspections should
be made most frequently under high-corrosion-risk operating conditions, such as in areas of excessive
airborne salt concentrations (e.g., near the sea) and in high-humidity areas (e.g., tropical regions).
If you have purchased a used airplane, have your mechanic inspect the airplane registration records,
logbooks and maintenance records carefully. An unexplained period of time for which the airplane has
been out of service, or unexplained significant repairs may well indicate the airplane has been seriously
damaged in a prior accident. Have your mechanics inspect a used airplane carefully. Take the time to
make sure you really know what you are buying when you buy a used airplane.
HAZARDS OF UNAPPROVED MODIFICATIONS
Many airplane modifications are approved under Supplemental Type Certificates (STC’s). Before
installing an STC on your airplane, check to make sure the STC does not conflict with other STC’s that
have already been installed. Because approval of an STC is obtained by the individual STC holder
based upon modification of the original type design, it is possible for STC’s to interfere with each other
when both are installed. Never install an unapproved modification of any type, however innocent the
apparent modification may seem. Always obtain proper FAA approval.
Airplane owners and maintenance personnel are particularly cautioned not to make attachments to, or
otherwise modify, seats from original certification without approval from the FAA Engineering and
Manufacturing District Office having original certification responsibility for that make and model.
Any unapproved attachment or modification to seat structure may increase load factors and metal
stress which could cause failure of seat structure at a lesser "g" force than exhibited for original
certification. Examples of unauthorized attachments found are drilling holes in seat tubing to attach fire
extinguishers and drilling holes to attach approach plate book bins to seats.
FLIGHT PLANNING
14 CFR Part 91 requires that each pilot in command, before beginning a flight, familiarize himself with
all available information concerning that flight, and, for Transport Category airplanes, states take-off
weight, landing weight and field length limitations which must be observed.
Obtain a current and complete preflight briefing. This should consist of local, enroute and destination
weather and enroute navaid information. Enroute terrain and obstructions, alternate airports, airport
runways active, length of runways, and take-off and landing distances for the airplane for conditions
expected should be known.
The prudent pilot will review the planned enroute track and stations and make a list for quick reference.
If a flight is to be made VFR, it is strongly recommended to file a flight plan with a Flight Service Station.
Also, advise Flight Service Stations of changes or delays of one hour or more and remember to close
the flight plan at destination.
