Hi castrofly,

the way i understand this document is, that both are on the licence endorsement HS125 and you need a differential training between them.

Hawker 900XP
 

Exactly! :ok:

How can you compare a Hawker to a CL300, G200, G280? They are in different leagues, speed, range, cabin, hold, costs... Oh and possibly now product support.

We are looking at Hawker 900XP late production machine. Interested in pros/cons and reliability. Is the de-ice system a major issue eg...

TBM, I've been flying the Hawker around Europe and Russia for about 9 years now. It's a tough reliable machine. It'll suit Australia nicely.

The TKS is not the worlds best system but it does work. Use the stuff intelligently and in accordance with the AFM etc, you'll be fine and you shouldn't run out. ;)
Where people go wrong with the stuff is not priming it for weeks on end and wondering why the seals etc let go. Also, some folks get super nervous and use it at the hint of a cloud and wonder why the stuff runs out... :hmm:

If you're going to be operating remotely, carry 2 x 5 litres of TKS 80 (ok for carriage in the cabin) and you're good.

I will sign under each sentence.
You should prime system at least once per week during summer for aprox. 5 minutes. We never have any problems with our TKS system on 6 years old airframe.
And yes, wrong understanding of environment weather leads to TKS runs out very vastly as stated above.
