N42HS

This entry documents airframe N42HS, a 2020-built Honda HA-420 HondaJet Elite bearing serial number 42000205. The aircraft is recorded as owned by the corporation VALIAIR LC TRUSTEE, located in Ogden, UT, US, and is registered in the US. As a late-production HA-420 Elite, this airframe reflects standard factory equipment and a contemporary avionics fit; its estimated market value is $5,280,000. No additional notable registry actions or operator changes are published beyond the current corporate ownership.

The airframe is configured in the typical executive cabin layout for the HondaJet Elite, accommodating 1 crew + 5–7 passengers in a club seating arrangement with an optional single side-facing seat to increase capacity. Avionics are fitted with the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck, supporting advanced touchscreen flight and systems management typical of this model. Operationally, this aircraft is suited to business missions and light charter operations linking regional city pairs within its 1,437 nm range and leveraging a high-speed cruise of 422 kts for fast point-to-point travel. As a corporate-owned airframe, routine maintenance and avionics software updates would be expected to align with factory-recommended cycles for the HA-420 and GE Honda HF120 engines.

The Honda HA-420 HondaJet Elite occupies the light business jet performance niche with a distinctive over-the-wing engine mount and efficient cruise speed, here demonstrated by N42HS. Comparable competitors include light-cabin jets that prioritize speed, range, and fuel efficiency; the HA-420’s combination of 422 kts cruise and 1,437 nm range targets owner-operators and charter operators seeking short-to-medium stage lengths. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe include support for the GE Honda HF120 engines and Garmin G3000 avionics lifecycle, factors that influence buyer demand and residual value in the pre-owned market.
