N229CX

This airframe, registered as N229CX, is a 2024-build HondaJet Elite II (HA-420) with manufacturer serial number 42000264. The jet is manufactured by Honda Aircraft Company and is listed in U.S. civil registration as a fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft. Ownership is held by PJ420 LLC, a corporation based in Chicago, IL, US; the transfer to this corporate owner is the principal recorded custodial event for the airframe. The aircraft is valued at $6,800,000, reflecting its new-build specification and full certification status for civil operation.

The airframe is fitted in an executive 7‑passenger configuration with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, providing a conventional corporate interior for short- to medium-range missions. Avionics are centered on a Garmin G3000 suite, which includes Jeppesen ChartView, GWX‑8000 StormOptix, WAAS capability, and XM Weather datalink to support situational awareness and en route weather avoidance. Typical operational profiles for this specific aircraft would leverage its maximum cruise of 422 kts and a published range of 1,547 nm for point-to-point business travel from its Chicago operator base. Maintenance and operational planning for this airframe will follow manufacturer and engine OEM schedules for the HondaJet Elite II and GE Honda HF120 powerplants as applied to a 2024-build platform.

The HondaJet Elite II (HA-420) to which N229CX belongs occupies a light business jet niche emphasizing high cruise speed and transcontinental short-range capability within its category. With twin GE Honda HF120 engines delivering 2,050 lbf each and a service ceiling of 43,000 ft, the model competes for buyers and charter operators seeking a modern, efficient light jet. Demand drivers for examples like N229CX typically include corporate ownership structures and charter operators prioritizing speed, avionics capability, and a modest seven-seat cabin; resale and maintenance considerations will reflect the airframe’s 2024 production date and documented corporate registration.
