N225DB

This entry covers airframe N225DB, a 2017 build of the Honda HA-420 HondaJet (APMG) with manufacturer listed as HONDA AIRCRAFT CO LLC and serial number 42000044. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the trust VALIAIR LC TRUSTEE, located in Ogden, UT, US; ownership is held in trust which may affect operational and registry arrangements. No other operator history or notable registry actions are published for this tail, and the airframe is recorded with an estimated market value of $3,150,000. The type is categorized as fixed-wing multi-engine and presents as a relatively modern light business jet in private trust ownership.

Airframe N225DB is certificated for single-pilot operation and configured for 1 crew + 5–7 pax (certified up to 8 seats) with an executive single-seat layout following the APMG/Executive Seat Upgrade. The cabin arrangement for this specific airframe emphasizes an executive single-seat layout, supporting private business missions, short to mid-range point-to-point charters, and owner-flown operations from its base in Ogden, UT, US. Avionics are the Garmin G3000 suite with three 14" landscape displays, dual GIA-63W units and a GFC 700 automatic flight control system, giving the type modern integrated flightdeck capabilities. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with light-jet schedules for the HondaJet family and the GE Honda HF120 turbofans.

The Honda HA-420 HondaJet (APMG) occupies the light business jet niche, emphasizing high cruise speed relative to range and a high service ceiling for its class; this airframe cruises at 422 kts with a ceiling of 43,000 ft and a practical range of 1,223 nm. Competing models typically include other entry-level light jets offering similar payload-range tradeoffs; buyer and charter demand often focuses on owner-operators and small-operator fleets seeking modern avionics and efficiency. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific 2017 airframe include continued support for GE Honda HF120 engines and the market perception tied to its single-pilot certification and executive interior configuration.
