Old School Hawker Cockpit - Tech Tuesday

[@tedferkin]

I love the "old school" way of covering up the aircraft ident. None of the fancy post processing blurring out, just a couple of torn off pieces of paper.

[@w5cdt]

I was wondering about that little scrap of paper. :-)

[@CorporatePilotLife]

HAHA! You caught me...

[@metulski737]

The Hawker 800 is a mid-size twinjet corporate aircraft. It is a development of the British Aerospace 125, and was assembled by Hawker Beechcraft. Here is a quick look at the Honeywell Hawker 800XP cockpit. Old school cockpits are the best. Just...wow!

[@cq7415]

Thanks for the tour.

[@HighTide1715]

Hi Shawn. I have really become a fan of the hawker. Love the climb performance of the airplane. There was a video where ATC requested the best possible rate of climb to 230 , right after take off. Very Impressive performance, and ATC even acknowledged it. I will always remember that. Anyway, thanks for another great tech tuesday vid. Take Care.

[@N741SP]

800 Hawker is good stuff, much improved over the noisy cockpit of the 700. Good memories.

[@bruce2357]

Wow Anthony Hopkins changed his name and went into aviation.

[@N98858]

Hey Shawn...Kind of prefer "Old School", not a big Glass Panel Guy! Thanks for the tour ';-)

[@coma13794]

Was literally about to type this. Bring it in, buddy, bring it in....

[@Big.Ron1]

Nice. I learned on and flew the old 6 pac. No moving map, no map period. All steam gauges. The only led was frequency readouts. Its all I have ever flown. I wouldn't know how to fly this or any other airplane without a gazillion gauges, switches and knobs. Maybe someday I'll get to fly a modern glass cockpit. Might be fun, or might be scary. Especially for everyone else in the jet with me. Lol. It would be an adventure for sure. Thanks and be safe!

[@Xpyburnt_ndz]

So cool you get to cruise in the cool planes Shaun! Love the vids!!!

[@zarniwoopb6078]

I love the old school rocker switches, same ones in the BAE146 upper panel.

[@rikspector]

Shaun, Very comfortable, lots of leg room. Cheers, Rik Spector

[@joeycarr1398]

My favorite cockpits, the old school kind.

[@rexgialla1970]

This cockpit is absolutely great !! Military style ! Gorgeus

[@officeguy3]

Love the old gauges.

[@russellvanklassen9291]

wow fighter jet style.thanks, Shaun fantastic vid

[@lbowsk]

I fly a 750 with Collins ProLinen 21. I think the plane is a 2008. Its in immaculate condition. Overall, the cockpit is a fantastic layout and a very nice place to work. I'm 6'3" so I wish it was a bit larger, but hey...can't have it all. There are VERY few things that I don't like about the jet. I wish it had a hot wing and limited pedal NWS in addition to the tiller. Its quiet and fast enough. More power of course would be cool along with a larger Wx Radar display. hahahahahahah

[@vonw.3294]

I like old school, gauges and Honeywell's products. Beautiful plane!

[@harveyweizman]

Honeywell does have an upgrade for this I think it's called the primus if not universal would probably have an upgrade/retrofit..

[@samueljoejr5191]

A great video . Thx for the effort. This kind of access is rare,again, Thx.

[@michaelthompson4269]

Hey Shaun. How about a video of an engine start? I love the sound of those old school engine instruments spooling up.

[@matthewbarber4240]

Same yoke as Concorde 😊

[@Doyle-Nutbush]

Looks good to me, we used to haul around in a DH-125-3A/RA. Talk about steam gauges....

[@xECKSx58]

Lots of the same control panels (radar, radio, etc) as the E145!

[@christopherstephens3270]

Love it. Thank you Shawn for sharing!!!

[@johnfarr2738]

Very old school! What’s the gorgeous airplane sitting out on the Tarmac behind you?

[@jimdougherty2758]

Just because a pilot is type rated in a certain aircraft doesn't necessarily mean that they can jump into any aircraft and fly. They almost need to be type rated on the avionics system too. How does a big 135 operation track all that?

[@seagullsbtn]

Going back to the Future is a great education.

[@Hawker900XP]

Exactly what I have.

[@jefferyschlicht5920]

I love the dump!

[@ernanikotwski9740]

Old school but pretty cool.

[@36thstreethero]

I flew 737 with no glass at all...this isn’t old school. The honeywell system in this 800 actually allows you to pick a point in space on the MFD and insert that point to the FMS. It makes tracking around weather seamless.

[@kurtheine8179]

Shawn, are you going to get a chance to fly that Embraer 650 we saw? Love to see some videos from that! Keep up the good work!

[@dougmohn1182]

Its old, its needs updates. but it's cool. Good work.

[@bigd-1-channel514]

Real Gauges for Real Pilots. I just do not like the Glass gauges. Another good video.

[@airplaneramp]

Cool!

[@jimdougherty2758]

When there are switches overhead you know its serious hardware! Can that older Honeywell be updated with WAAS support for shooting LPV approaches?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

It can, but it's not cheap!

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

Great vlog as always! Was this the orginal cockpit and the newer is like a 2.0 UG?

[@rongerhardt9700]

Very informative awesome job

[@Excitable67]

That looks so much more confusing than the newer panels!

[@BeechSportBill]

...like the Beech Starship panel

[@ralphwoodard609]

Hey Sean, kind of prefer new school even though I don’t fly. Never did like steam gauges is too much. On another note, why is it important not to mention or show the N number of the aircraft? I don’t think that has anything to do with advertising or anything it’s just a number. Am I under thinking this too much.

[@darthdad160]

Thanks for the vid. With all the differences between cockpits, do you need to do sim training on them first? What do you need to do to be "check out" on the different layout and equipment?

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Fly safely always.

[@Repented008]

Nice. Do the older ones have different engines though? How does she perform compared to the pro line? Or is it just an interface swap?👍

[@sean_before8807]

Do you need a different rating or training to transfer between the different avionic packages? Thanks for these behind the scene looks.

[@markfoster4458]

No different rating, just a differences class and a sim check depending on insurance.

[@mb8kr]

Hello there!

[@heatherrawls6015]

Cool....Bye Mark!

[@jimhal5553]

Old school?? Dang dude, you are SOOOOO young! :-) Or I am SOOOOO old.

[@StephaneDemers]

I was thinking the same thing, those are EFIS screens, some of the first ones mind you but still EFIS so that isn't old school to me. Old school would be all analog with a black on black attitude indicator.

[@jimhal5553]

@@StephaneDemers With a venturi attached to the side of the fuselage to generate the vacuum to run the gyros.

[@StephaneDemers]

@@jimhal5553 and a very prominent turn and slip right centre top of that panel with huge directional gyro that precesses and needs constant adjustment. Icing on the cake would be a string on the windscreen. Old school (EFIS) .... kids 🤣

[@jimhal5553]

@@StephaneDemers I always thought the string WAS the prominent turn and slip indicator. It also made a great precipitation and icing indicator.

[@ryanfortin4344]

😬 the G1000 on my 172 bug-smasher has far more sophisticated avionics displays.... Is there even an FD on that?? How do you know where to fly??

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That is very true. I have about 2000 hours in G1000 planes and it is very advanced. This one does have a flight director, it just wasn't engaged when I took this video.

[@chriholt]

Wow, very "old school cool"! Same type rating?

[@datruth9872]

Nice Job ! Us OLD GUYS. Kinda like the steam gauges. Sorry. Later.

[@jjsmallpiece9234]

Still no bomb release buttons

[@ArnoldWinters]

That’s obviously an older plane with the steam gauges, right?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

I believe this one is a 2001

[@MJ-fh8fw]

Are those CRT screens?

[@shawndavis9349]

What is the age difference between that hawker and the others on the certificate?

[@KD0LRG]

2005 wants their plane back 😉

[@markfoster4458]

Actually, it’s a 2001... with winglets

[@johnfarr2738]

Didn’t you fly one of these when you with Presidential?

[@coma13794]

Pretty sure that was a gulfstream.

[@craigc5879]

Can you fly both with the same rating

[@CorporatePilotLife]

Yep...just differences training between them

[@David-ql1hd]

How do you maintain muscle memory between the two sets of avionics?

[@CorporatePilotLife]

That's a good question. Muscle memory does fade, but I've spent a good amount of time in both, so it comes back pretty quick when I move around.

[@markfoster4458]

Don’t let him fool you, he’s probably forgotten more about Honeywell avionics than I’ll ever remember. He has no problems switching, at least as far as I could tell.

[@megamilyon6111]

I think Mark was annoyed with you.

[@markfoster4458]

Not in the least... love flying with Shaun.

[@caspertheghost9999]

Why did your company decide to buy or lease such an aircraft with ‘almost’ out of date ‘steam gauges’ (your description) for use in your business ? It doesn’t instill confidence that your company is utilizing the latest or greatest equipment for the safest transportation when the ‘shtf’,,,, not trying to be critical, but I wouldn’t want to charter such an aircraft,,,

[@luvthedrake1375]

When did he say "almost out of date"?

[@zarniwoopb6078]

It makes no difference to safety so why would it matter? Do you check the style of instruments every time you board a commercial airplane?

[@adamdarnell7996]

Most of our clients don’t care what the “office” looks like. As long as the back is nice and the company keeps the plane looking and working good they board and fly.
