The Hawker 800XP, 850XP, 900XP, and Hawker 1000 are maintained through a progressive inspection program that combines flight-hour and calendar-based requirements.
These inspections address everything from airframe structures and flight controls to landing gear, hydraulics, avionics, and other critical systems. Understanding what is coming due and planning for it in advance helps owners and operators minimize downtime and avoid unexpected maintenance delays.
Understanding Hawker Inspections
Hawker maintenance requirements are performed at various flight-hour and calendar intervals. Routine inspections address recurring maintenance needs, while larger inspections become increasingly comprehensive as aircraft reach higher flight-hour or calendar milestones.
One of the most significant events is the 48-month inspection, commonly known as the G Check. This major inspection can require extensive access to structural areas and components that aren’t evaluated during routine maintenance. Depending on the aircraft and applicable inspection program, the work may include structural inspections, non-destructive testing, bonding inspections, landing gear work, and corrosion evaluation.
Because of the scope involved, a G Check can require several weeks of downtime, particularly if additional maintenance is identified once the aircraft is opened up.
