A direct development of the well-known BAe 125, the Hawker 800XP incorporates many improvements over the 125 series, from more powerful engines to redesigned cockpit glazing. The 800XP first flew in June 1983 and remains a favourite with private and executive jet charter companies.
This Just Flight 800XP is modelled on a typical specification for the type, with a good mix of ‘glass cockpit’ and conventional instrumentation. It's a perfect choice for both long and short flights - its forgiving nature and superb performance will give you hours of enjoyable flying!

FMC (Flight Management Computer)
800XP BizJet has a custom-coded Flight Management Computer (FMC) featuring:
- Flight Plan pages: load and activate pre-made FSX flight plans without having to leave the cockpit; track the route, get an overview about distances and arrival times to the next waypoint en route and your destination
- Modify your route and save it
- Cockpit Navigator pages: easily switch (open/hide) panels via the FMC
- Checklist pages: Access checklists and work them off with FMC help, showing you matches/mismatches between required checklist items and current aircraft settings. Only when all aircraft settings match the checklist requirements will the checklist will be completed and closed.
- Aircraft/ flight status page, showing date/time, coordinates and some general aircraft information on one glance (flaps status, gear status, fuel status, lights etc.)
- The FMC can hold two flight plans - an active flight plan and a standby flight plan. You can load a flight plan direct as the active flight plan (for immediate use) or you can load it as standby flight plan and set it active later. You can have an active and a standby flight plan loaded at the same time, so that you have an alternate route in case you need to change plans. With both flight plans you can add and remove waypoints.
Other features
