Model & Market Context
This article covers airframe N1224A, a 2018-built example of the Honda HA-420 HondaJet with manufacturer serial number 42000131. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by EFN 63 LLC, an LLC based in Sugar Grove, IL, US, which appears as the on-record owner and operator/home base connection. The airframe was completed by Honda Aircraft Company in 2018 and carries a reported market valuation of $5,750,000. No public record of multiple ownership transfers or notable incidents is listed for this specific serial on the supplied data.
This airframe is outfitted in a single-pilot capable executive layout, typically configured for one pilot plus five to six passengers, and is registered with 8 seats for certification purposes. The cabin and flightdeck are equipped with Garmin G3000 avionics, supporting modern situational awareness and single-pilot operations on business and charter sectors. Typical missions for this specific HondaJet would include short to mid-range business trips within the continental US given its 1,547 nm range and high-speed cruise of 422 kts, often operating from corporate or regional airports near the owner’s base in Sugar Grove, IL, US. Maintenance considerations follow factory schedules for the HF120 engines and Honda Aircraft Company recommendations; no unique supplemental data for this serial were provided.
The Honda HA-420 HondaJet family occupies the light-business jet niche with emphasis on fuel efficiency, high cruise speed, and a pressurized cabin optimized for executive travel. Competing models include other entry-level light jets in the 4–8 seat class; buyer interest often concentrates on owner-operators and on-demand charter operators seeking single-pilot capability and modern avionics such as the Garmin G3000. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect typical HondaJet factors: HF120 engine support, airframe age since its 2018 build, and its registry/ownership history as recorded under EFN 63 LLC.
