Tech Tuesday - The Hawker Yoke Is So Cute!!

[@kerpap3007]

I really miss the Presidential69 days but I have to say with the G4 and the Hawker, its still a TON of fun. thanks for doing what you do Shaun!

[@Kelly-jc3jc]

We just took delivery of a Pilatus PC-24, the yoke looks like an X-Box controller. It also comes out of the panel, similar to the C-152, not the floor.

[@kevinvt4174]

Man that takes me back to the Big Wheel days when I was a kid :)

[@notj5712]

As someone who has a few thousand hours in Hawkers and now flies the 550, the Hawker yoke beats all. It falls to hand so easily without any pro or supination, and the low pivot has a great feel.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

Reminds me of both the plastic Big Wheel handlebars from back in the day ... and, modern sport bike handlebars when you're in a full 90° wheelie. 😁 Thanks for the Tech, Shaun! 👍🍻

[@Ripper13F1V]

Reminds me of the Turbo Commander yoke. Which I like.

[@johnhudson551]

Big wheel handle bars

[@Swaggerlot]

The 'rams horn' control column goes back way before Concorde, it certainly featured as long ago as the HS-121 (the DeHavilland) Trident.

[@donjohnson8649]

The first time I climbed into a Hawker to fly it and saw the yoke, I have to admit that I was somewhat taken aback. (actually, I think that was in a simulator at SIMUFLITE in Dallas). But after VERY few hours it got to where I was VERY comfortable with that yoke and like it a lot. I have flown a lot of 601 and 604 Challengers Lears, various King Airs and etc. that have "standard" yokes similar to what this guy talks about being the case in Gulfstreams and just CANNOT say anything bad about the Hawker style yoke even though it DOES look a LOT different!

[@jeanmarcosmotter4446]

The Embraer line uses this type of yoke Ejets and Erjs

[@juniorditrucker]

Thanks for all these tech vids!!! They're all awesome!!

[@jenniferwhitewolf3784]

Nice locks... no risk of leaving engaged. Well done!

[@TOMAS-lh4er]

YOU ARE AWESOME, "2 videos " AND late at the same time !! Only you would have thought of that solution !! GOD BLESS YOU !!

[@gtr1952]

They are the same position as the handlebars on my 1978 BMW R100RS. 8)

[@iisubzeroii5538]

just like a car (automobile for those on the other side of the pond) - 10 2 2 is a good position. Nice tech tuesday and great clear explanations. Good work sir.

[@gunslinger3577]

Should you get the handle grip tassels from Chris Muncy, and after you attach them, you will have to hunch over the yoke, and go/say "We-e-e-e-e-e!!!" Only do that on climb out. Great video, as always. Thanx.

[@ColdCanuck50]

At least then he can say that the yoke is on him.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I would soooooo do that...anyone want to donate some tassels?

[@niceguy2171]

A fine yoke, as someone who likes flying with them, wouldn't mind it at all. And a fine video as well ;)

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Thank you!

[@billnicholson2470]

Didn't know about the 3 position PTT switch. Actually a more easy and functional yoke than I thought. Love the tech vids. Keep up the good work. Thanks. At least it's not a side stick lol.

[@jawd1203]

That’s really similar to the Embraer yoke

[@CorporatePilotLife]

yes indeed!

[@jawd1203]

Corporate Pilot Life I’m a flight attendant flying on Embraer airplanes and hope to fly a Phenom some day

[@sjbeaver]

Most people know that the Hawker was previously known as the BaE 125, and the Hawker Siddeley HS125, but not so many know that its original name was the de Havilland "Jet Dragon". A much better name!

[@chriholt]

A vlog and a Tech Tuesday, nice!

[@TOMAS-lh4er]

THAT was to make up for being late.

[@THELIFEOFPRICE]

Love it, thank you for the video =D

[@hoopsheavenpa]

Always great content on CPL!

[@shadowmist1246]

thanks for doing 2 videos in 1 day

[@marktaylor8263]

Great tech Tuesday video, nice comparison. Was always curious which was more comfortable .

[@cq7415]

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

[@karlsandin4515]

Very Embraer like as well

[@robertsnorrason2494]

The Embraer planes have the same yoke design.

[@gervers]

Thanks for this vlog! I was wondering about the yoke. Great Tech Tuesday

[@extremereclusefallows5779]

You probably hold that yoke 4 minutes out of every flight. The gust lock can't be forgotten; good idea.

[@iowadrummer79]

Thanks for talking about this!!!

[@wheelerbradley]

Cool video. Thanks😃

[@PapaiSilva]

This is similar to Embraer yoke

[@mcfast52]

That was a good yoke!

[@CorporatePilotLife]

LOL

[@KiwiandPixel]

Nice. Always learning new stuff. Keep it up, Sean!

[@jsking306]

Thanks. Love the tech.

[@hawkerteach]

Hawker Gust Lock conforms to Darwin's Theory.... Sometimes you have to protect the stupid. Not going to take off with that engaged. In fact you can't even advance the throttles above 60% with it engaged. Thanks Shaun, just found your page recently.

[@Pintuuuxo]

Two videos in one day... Is it Christmas already?! Thank you Shaun.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

LOL...just for you!

[@alexrembert1155]

Nicely done! Thank you

[@GeraldLaumeyer]

Thanks for a really informative tech video I always enjoy them

[@retiree1033]

[@larrymayberry2312]

Another great video.

[@av8ir68]

Great Video, thanks for that great tech Tuesday info!!!!

[@Lee-in-oz]

Thanks once again Shaun. Question / suggestion for a future tech tuesday vid. Can you explain about the flch button and how it differs from vnav?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Great suggestion...I can definitely do that. Thank you!

[@frankmcgee7158]

Thanks, Shaun. Ram’s horn or conventional, I like them all. Actually, the Hawker yoke is better than the Concorde’s. Theirs looks like a length of pipe fitted to a “Y”.

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

Looks like a "big wheel" steering wheel... :)

[@seanjohnston8619]

tech tuesdays is awesome. when rudder stick is removed for flight can something fall in hole and possibly jam rudder or is it covered. thanks and have a great day

[@CorporatePilotLife]

There is a spring loaded cover when that rod is removed

[@richschindler8731]

Also known as, ram horns. I never really enjoyed flying with them. Only aircraft I ever flew that had anything other than conventional control columns.

[@derrick_blak_]

What is the purpose of the TOGA button is the aircraft doesn't have an auto throttle? Is it just used to set the take off power manually ?

[@ianallen1948]

Same yoke as a BN2 islander (early model)

[@TIO540S1]

Thanks for this! I’d like to see a quick video about the tiller. Why are jets unlike my Saratoga that steers the nose wheel with rudder pedals?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I don't have one for the Hawker tiller, but I do have a Tech video on the Gulfstream tiller here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXjZpJR8jsunoa8 They are pretty much the same though.

[@eglide73]

Like fish and chips, the ram horn yoke is an old English tradition.

[@rikspector]

Shaun, Hawks ,like peregrine f Falcons ,have wings with somewhat the same shape as the yoke on the Hawker...coincidence?, I think not That ain't no kiddy bike control, Dude, that big guy stuff:) Cheers, Rik Spector

[@patrickburgmeier7902]

Why don't they give you side sticks on the seat armrests? Then you could flip everything out of the way and slide the seat rearward and make exit and entry easy? All controls could be mounted on the armrests. And both seat controls could then be the same for each side.

[@EinkOLED]

Because nobody would want to fly something as flimsy as a sidestick attached to their seat.

[@patrickburgmeier7902]

@@EinkOLED lots of equipment has controls on the armrest. Just because it's there doesn't mean its flimsy. Most controls are electric switches now anyway.

[@EinkOLED]

@@patrickburgmeier7902 We are talking about a control stick that controls the pitch and roll of the aircraft. It is the most important equipment on an aircraft, lose that and you lose the ability to control the aircraft. Also the seat needs to move and possibly replaced if broken, so it is essential that the control stick remains attached to the aircraft rather than a moveable seat which could accidently sever any cables. Also the side stick on airbus is a heavy complex design relying on mechanical rods, etc.

[@tibundi]

Could you talk about the weight and balance? Do you do on every flight ?

[@revelationdisciples2037]

Great video Thanks

[@subsailor.9672]

Time for an Update?... Can't help but think, there is a hint hidden in the remarks. Like,.. "I want a G550/600 with the side-stick?"

[@Will-ol9lp]

Thank u for another video and your time doing all of them. Personally I think the Hawker is a pice of junk from the layout of it in the cockpit. I’ll take a GulfStream ,Citation X, and TBM any day or time over the Hawker.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

They are an older design, but we call them "old faithful" because they just work. They get the job done well. they're easy to fly, and they seldom break down to the point of canceling a flight.

[@TOMAS-lh4er]

@@CorporatePilotLife JUST LIKE MY 1993 GMC pick up !!

[@wntu4]

Bedford crash: Bella Dinh-Zarr, the board's vice chairman, said the pilots had flown together for years and had thousands of hours of experience but habitually neglected steps in preflight routines. The crew skipped steps during 98% of their previous 175 flights, according to investigators. “An airplane cannot take off safely with the gust lock engaged," Dinh-Zarr said. “The flight crew routinely neglected performing complete flight checks." Do the damn checklist. You could be a 50,000 hour pilot with 40k in type and still forget a critical item one day.

[@dcrahn]

Not to speak ill of the dead, but that accident in the Gulfstream up in Mass was due to bad cockpit procedures on the part of the two pilots. Gust lock design and placement play no part in that accident.

[@k1mgy]

Surprised about two things. First, the yoke seems to be blocking your full view of the two displays. True? The hand positions seem non-conforming to a more natural position. Do long periods on the yoke allow your muscles to relax a bit? I'm imagining that the seemingly higher grip is taxing. Second, the mic button sequence. From intercom, to mute, to transmit. I would think this might be rather awful in a situation where the crew is dealing with a problem (say, engine out), and therefore talking to ATC, and coordinating together. I'd make it a separate switch altogether or change the order: mute - intercom - transmit. Wonder if you have any thoughts on this?

[@arthurpereira3687]

hey Sean or anyone really, who controls the AP ? The pilot flying or pilot monitoring?

[@MrPellington]

Is that a Navitimer on your wrist?

[@dphotos007]

Just curious do you like those sheep skin covers. Those would drive me crazy. Every time I sit on one of those I get itchy. I never liked them. The cockpit on this plane looks very 70’s dated in its design.

[@netdog713]

You know what's funny? I watched Sam Chui's Concorde video right before watching this lol

[@prestonmiller9552]

Still haven't seen anything about what a hot start is and why it is bad.

[@ChrisMuncy]

Send me your mailing address so I can ship you some handle grip tassels :p

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Exactly...LOL

[@iisubzeroii5538]

[@TheDominationNetwork]

Cudo's to you for trying to make that yoke seem cool but we all know bro. Its Hysterical. Dont you hate it when the front landing gear gets flat from all the landings then you have to take the pedals off to replace it> :)

[@sqvision]

No squawk ident button on this yoke Shawn?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Nope...it's on the panel just outboard of the yoke

[@TheGarlicMan]

The same part number??! 😂😂😂 Mate, whoever told you that is trying to make you look silly.

[@andydroid1]

A quick queation? How is the side sunshade on the Hawker? Can it scare the living #!@$! out of you like the G4 did?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I'm never going to live that one down...the Hawker actually doesn't have retractable shades like the Gulfstream. I'll show the Hawker version sometime...

[@donjohnston3776]

How OLD is this airplane?

[@Jet-Pack]

That's a weird looking "autopilot" you got there LOL

[@MikeSierra8282]

Hi I have a question ( maybe silly) but I am wondering, when you want to go to the toilet during flight on a business jet, it must be embarrassing using the one for all those VIP rich guys:-) and another thing, what about the cofee or meals in flight. Are you guys allowed to go and make some coffe when you have customers on board? You know, its like using their snack bar almost:-)

[@CorporatePilotLife]

We try to minimize the toilet usage by going right before departure, but sometimes you just have to do it. We call it the walk of shame. As for the coffee and snacks, it's kinda the same thing. We usually put a few snacks in the cockpit before the passengers show up, but I've never had any issues with it whatsoever. We keep so much stuff on the plane for spares that I'm not worried about running out also. Some passengers are super cool where they actually bring food for us on the flight. I always feel bad, but often times they will come up and try to serve us food as if they are waiting on us. The vast majority of our passengers are genuinely nice and thoughtful people.

[@MikeSierra8282]

@@CorporatePilotLife thank you. That is exactly what I expected. Sometimes during long hauls must be difficult not to use the toilet in flight:-) Sorry, I am just looking for adventages and disadventages of being corporate pilot. I need to make the decision, where to apply...airline,or bizjet company. Thanks

[@TOMAS-lh4er]

SO !!! ITS INTERCHANGEABLE WITH A "BIG WHEEL "

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Exactly!!

[@ericpowers2469]

The instrument panel on the Hawker looks 50 yrs old amd antiquated compared to the Gulfstream.

[@heatherrawls6015]

Rams horn shape

[@Matthew-lv2bg]

Compared to the GIV, which in itself isnt a new airplane, the Hawker just looks rusty and second rate, altough that may be a completely incorrect assesment.

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I don't think I would say rusty, but it's kinda like comparing a Mustang Cobra to a Lamborghini. Both are nice, but one is at a different level

[@mikedupree832]

Nice Navtimer

[@MrJwarren100]

Looks like a little trikes steering wheel. Yeah, that's the G rated version of what it looks like. :-)
