N287SB

This airframe is registered as N287SB, a HA-420 HondaJet with manufacturer serial 42000287 built by Honda Aircraft Company (Honda Aircraft Co LLC). The airframe is recorded in the U.S. registry to HONDA AVIATION SERVICE CO INC, a Non Citizen Corporation based in Greensboro, NC, US, which functions as the owner and operator/home base for this specific jet. Registry entries note a typical executive certification and show an 8-seat configuration for the tail, and current valuation information lists the aircraft at $6,900,000. No other historical owners or transfers are published in the provided data; the registry highlights for this airframe emphasize its status with the Honda Aviation service organization and its documented seating and avionics fit.

The cabin in this airframe is listed as a typical executive layout accommodating 1 crew + 5–7 pax, with the registry specifically documenting 8 seats for N287SB, indicating flexibility for operator-configured seating. Avionics are recorded as Garmin G3000, the common fit on Elite/Elite II variants, providing integrated flight management, touchscreen control and modern situational awareness as typical mission equipment. Typical operations for this aircraft under Honda Aviation Service would include short to medium-range executive transport and corporate shuttles within the continental U.S., leveraging a cruise of 422 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 43,000 ft. Maintenance and operational planning for this airframe follow Honda’s multi-engine light-jet practices with attention to the HF120 turbofan lifecycle and Garmin avionics support.

The HA-420 HondaJet family occupies a light twin, very light business jet niche characterized by lower operating costs and efficient cruise performance for point-to-point regional missions. With a range of 1,223 nm and cruise near 422 kts, the platform competes with other light-cabin jets for owner-operators and charter operators seeking efficient short-haul executive transport. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe include continued support for GE Honda HF120 engines and Garmin G3000 avionics; the listed value of $6,900,000 positions N287SB competitively within the pre-owned market for well-equipped, service-backed HondaJet examples.
