Section V - FLIGHT HANDLING
DITCHING
The Hawker 800XP is not certified for ditching, however, the following recommended procedures are
considered to result in the minimum of airplane damage and the least injury to passengers.
They contain the best available advice, being based largely on model ditching tests on the British Royal
Air Force Dominie and general ditching procedures of other airplane (reference R & M No. 2917). These
recommendations are not based on tests made with a Hawker 800XP. No such tests have been carried
out.
• State of Sea ............ This is better assessed from a height of 500 to 1000 ft, particularly the
direction of swell which may not be as obvious as the less important wave
direction when seen from a lower altitude.
When there is no swell, alight into wind. In the presence of swell, and
provided that drift does not exceed 10°
alight parallel to the swell and as
nearly into wind as possible. If drift exceeds 10
°
, alight into wind.
NOTE: Every effort should be made to minimize roll.
Transmit a warning of possible ditching as soon as the emergency arises and while altitude remains.
The transmission can be cancelled later if danger is averted.
If possible, the ditching should take place while power is still available. This will enable the most
favorable conditions to be selected.
DIRECTION OF DITCHING
The direction of ditching is mainly dependent on wind and state of sea and these factors may be
assessed as follows:
• Wind Direction ......... This may be found by observing the waves, which move and break
downwind, spray from the wave tops is also a reliable indicator.
• Wind Speed............. The following conditions can be used as a guide to wind speed:
(a) A few white crests ................................. 8-17 Knots
(b) Many white crests.................................. 17-26 Knots
(c) Streaks of foam along the water............ 23-35 Knots
(d) Spray from the waves ............................ 35-43 Knots
ACTION
Passenger Preparation
• Switch on the appropriate cabin signs and securely stow all personal baggage.
• Make certain that all life jackets are available and their use understood.
• Give instructions for all spectacles and dentures to be removed, with collars and ties loosened.
• Check seat backs are upright and safety belts are fastened.
• Instruct passengers on correct posture for ditching.
• Advise the passengers to use the Emergency Overwing Exit only and not to use the main entry
door.
