N420KY

This airframe, registered as N420KY, is a factory-built Honda HA-420 HondaJet Elite completed in 2020 with serial number 42000187. The aircraft is recorded as owned by NEXGEN AVIATION LLC of Wilmington, DE, US, which serves as the operator and home base for commercial or corporate deployments out of the Northeastern United States. The airframe’s U.S. registration (US) and single-owner record indicate a straightforward ownership history with no publicly noted liens or multiple transfers; ownership by NEXGEN AVIATION LLC appears to be the principal registry action associated with this tail number. Condition and valuation highlights are best inferred from airframe age and equipment fit—newer-model HondaJets with factory GE Honda HF-120 powerplants and Garmin integrated avionics typically present as low-time, well-equipped light bizjets when maintained to OEM standards.

The cabin of this specific HondaJet is configured in a typical executive layout supporting one flight crew and up to six–eight passengers, with common installations including a four-seat club arrangement and an optional side seat for flexibility. Avionics are furnished with the integrated Garmin G3000 suite, supporting modern glass-cockpit operations, advanced situational awareness and single-pilot capability common to light business jets. Typical mission profiles for N420KY under its Wilmington-based operator include regional point-to-point corporate travel and on-demand charter missions within the continental U.S., exploiting the aircraft’s cruise speed and range for efficient short- to medium-haul sectors. Maintenance considerations specific to this airframe center on adherence to GE Honda HF-120 inspection intervals and Garmin software/avionics updates to preserve dispatch reliability and resale condition.

The Honda HA-420 HondaJet Elite occupies the light business jet niche, valued for its over-the-wing engine mount design, efficient cruise at 422 kts, and competitive range near 1,437 nm. It competes with models such as the Embraer Phenom 300 and Cessna Citation CJ4 in owner-operator and charter markets, where demand favors low-crew complexity, modern avionics like the Garmin G3000, and favorable operating economics. For buyers and brokers evaluating N420KY, considerations include the airframe’s relatively recent 2020 build year, single-owner registry, HF-120 engine lifecycle status, and completeness of Garmin avionics updates—factors that materially affect maintenance forecasting and resale value.
