Tactical swearing seemed to work with the nose gear. The company I work for no longer have the Hawkers. We operated the H750 and H800XPC.
Now I'm pootling around in the Challenger 350. We don't put the covers on. The Falcons and the Globals don't either.
A risk assessment was done by the company and the risk to falling off the ladder versus what might happen overnight wasn't worth it. If we were parking the aircraft for long periods, then it's possible we'd be putting the covers on.

One time I elected not to put the covers on the Hawker. It was absolutely blowing a gale and I deemed it too risky with the straps flying around. As we were leaving the aircraft for a few days, when the weather calmed down the next day I put them on then. We were parked perpendicular to the breeze.
