N420LR

This airframe, N420LR, is a 2023-built Honda HA-420 Hondajet Elite II with manufacturer serial number 42000240, manufactured by HONDA AIRCRAFT CO LLC. The aircraft is recorded as owned by TPC AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Saint Louis, MO, US, and is registered in the US civil registry. Delivered in 2023 to TPC AVIATION LLC, the airframe presents as a relatively new example of the Elite II variant with current fit and equipment reflecting factory options for avionics and interior layout.

The cabin of N420LR is configured in the typical Hondajet Elite II arrangement as 1 crew + 6 pax (club + belted side-facing seat) with an alternate layout of 2 crew + 5 pax, offering flexible light-business or executive transport capability. Avionics aboard this airframe comprise a Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck with Garmin GFC 700 autopilot, GTS 855 TCAS I, and GWX 75 weather radar, supporting single-pilot or two-pilot operations and modern situational awareness. Based at Saint Louis, MO, the aircraft is well suited to regional business missions and point-to-point trips across the continental United States and into nearby international destinations, leveraging its cruise speed and range for efficient short-to-medium-haul operations. Maintenance planning for this specific airframe will follow Honda Aircraft and engine OEM schedules for the HF120 powerplants and G3000 avionics service bulletins.

The Honda HA-420 Hondajet Elite II occupies the light business jet niche characterized by innovative over-the-wing engine mounts and a composite-influenced airframe, offering a combination of cabin volume, fuel efficiency, and speed competitive with entry-level light jets. With cruise speeds near 422 kts and a maximum operating ceiling of 43,000 ft, the model competes against light-cabin entrants from manufacturers such as Embraer, Cessna, and Pilatus in owner-operated and charter markets. For buyers and operators, considerations include HF120 engine maintenance cycles, avionics support for the Garmin G3000 suite, and the resale outlook for relatively new production examples like N420LR, which benefit from factory warranty and modern equipment fit.
