On the Hawker you don't need to give up fuel for payload, so 8 pax and full fuel is not a problem from a 6000 ft runway. However, 8 pax on a hawker is a full cabin, the achilles heel is baggage space. Everything has to go inside, and while it is surprising what you can fit in the internal baggage it can sometimes be a bit limiting.
Range, 2300nm is a realistic max with alternate fuel, for that you might need to go intermediate cruise, however this is not a serious limitation, if you cruise at .75 instead of .78 you will save approx 15% fuel for a time penalty of only 3%.
It is a very tough airplane, generally very reliable, and very nice to fly both for pilot and pax/owner.
Hope the above helps, have a good one
