Hawker 800XP Before Takeoff
Checklist
When you reach it, rotate to the normal takeoff altitude;
when you’re sure you’re solidly in the air (by which time you’ll
most likely be at 35 feet already, with the end of the runway pass-
ing beneath you), go ahead and retract the gear. Now you can
carefully accelerate to your flap retraction speed and start think-
ing about returning for landing. Don’t bother turning on the bleed
air valves; you’re not going high enough to need cabin pressur-
ization, and you might as well save all the performance for your
remaining engine.
Compared even with a turboprop, you’ll most likely be
impressed at what a “non-event” this has been. Sure, the airplane
isn’t climbing as impressively as it normally does; but it’ll still be
doing as well as most turboprops, and better than most piston
twins, with both engines running. Handling will be pretty benign,
too: with the engines in close to the center, the asymmetric thrust,
while certainly perceptible, is relatively minor. In fact, many jet
manuals don’t even specify a different set of V speeds for a single-
engine approach. Just “do your thing” normally, perhaps paying a
bit of extra attention to rudder trim as you pull off the power to
touch down, and you should have it made.
CONGRATULATIONS!
You’ve come a long way from that little Cessna 172 - and
about as far as we can teach you with this release of FLY! We hope
you’ve enjoyed it as much as we have...and if you’re still ambi-
tious and want to fly something even larger and more sophisticat-
ed...say, a jumbo jetliner?...it won’t be long until you’ll be able to,
in a future release of FLY!
