Hawker 1000 (BAe 125 Series 1000)
The largest and longest-range member of the Hawker 125 line, built alongside the Hawker 800 and 800XP.
The Hawker 1000 gives you about 3,100 nm of range, an enclosed washroom and a 24-ft cabin for roughly $0.9M to $1.5M. The catch is a 52-aircraft fleet: parts, training and resale all take more planning than a Hawker 800XP.
Buy it if
You want nonstop coast-to-coast range and a long midsize cabin for well under $2M, you fly from runways of 6,000 ft or more, and you have a Hawker specialist shop and a training plan lined up.
Skip it if
You need short or high-altitude runways at full weight, want easy resale, or would rather have the large parts and training network of a Hawker 800XP or 900XP.
Biggest compromise
It is an orphan. Only 52 were built, it needs its own pilot type rating, and several US examples now belong to parts dealers.

Not yet graded
- Hawker 800XP instead: Shorter range, but a far larger fleet, the shared Hawker type rating, plentiful parts and training, and easier resale.
- Hawker 900XP instead: Newer, with better hot-and-high takeoff performance, winglets and modern avionics, for a higher price.
- Learjet 60 instead: Same engine family and similar range for less cabin; faster, but narrower and shorter inside.

Engines & inspections
2 × Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305B · 5,225 lbf each
Engine hours until overhaul
- B inspection · 800 hr
- C inspection · 1,600 hr
- D inspection · 3,200 hr
- Engine overhaul · 7,200 hr
- E inspection every 12 months

Pratt & Whitney's pay-per-hour plans cover these engines. Aircraft on a program usually sell more easily; check transfer terms and any buy-in cost.
Known issues
Small fleet, scarce airframe parts
Only 52 built and several owned by parts dealers; unique airframe parts can take time and money to find.
Thrust-reverser directive
A 2016 FAA directive added a reverser relay and warning kit; confirm compliance in the records.
Wing de-ice panel corrosion
Corrosion where the fluid de-ice panels mount on the wing leading edge is a recurring Hawker finding.
Pre-buy checklist
0 of 9 checked
Textron Aviation supplies parts and mobile service, while independent Hawker specialists such as Duncan Aviation and C&L Aerospace do much of the airframe work. Engine support is widespread through the PW300 family.
Review
The full review
Strengths
- About 3,100 nm maximum range and roughly 2,500 nm with four passengers, about 500 nm more than a Hawker 800.
- A 24 ft 5 in cabin with a flat aisle, forward galley and private aft washroom, the longest in the 125 line.
- Pratt & Whitney PW305B engines with digital controls, burning about 232 to 245 gallons an hour, close to a Hawker 800.
Limitations
- Only 52 built; about 26 remain on the US register and several are owned by parts companies.
- Needs about 5,950 ft of runway at maximum weight and about 8,075 ft from a 5,000 ft high airport.
- Cabin is 5 ft 9 in tall, so most adults stoop, and most bags travel through the cabin.
The Hawker 1000 is the largest and longest-legged member of a family that began with the de Havilland DH.125 in 1962. British Aerospace stretched the Hawker 800 by 2 ft 9 in, added a larger fuel tank under the fuselage, and replaced the Honeywell TFE731 engines with Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305Bs with digital engine controls. It first flew in June 1990, was renamed the Hawker 1000 after Raytheon bought the program, and was built until 1997. Only 52 were made, because buyers would not pay roughly $2.7M more than a Hawker 800XP.
Pilot's take
From the cockpit the Hawker 1000 feels like a Hawker 800 that has been given more fuel and better engines. The digital engine controls take a lot of the throttle work out of long climbs, and the airframe is steady in rough air. It is not a short-field airplane: plan on long runways when the tanks are full, and treat hot, high airports with respect unless the bump-thrust option is fitted and working. Crews coming from the 800 adapt quickly, but the separate type rating means you have to plan training well in advance.
Who this is for
An experienced owner or charter operator who wants transcontinental range and a long cabin for midsize money, flies from longer runways, and is comfortable managing a rare type with specialist maintenance and dedicated pilot training.
