N430E

This entry covers airframe N430E, a 2021-built Honda HA-420 HondaJet with serial number 42000216. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by GALILEE III SPV LLC, a Bozeman, MT–based limited liability company; the registration and ownership are the primary public-record highlights for this specific airframe. The FAA record for this aircraft notably lists an eight-seat certification, while typical cabin configurations for the model emphasize a single pilot plus up to five passengers. The transfer into the ownership of GALILEE III SPV LLC (Bozeman, MT) represents the principal documented change in the aircraft’s recorded history.

The individual cabin of N430E follows the HA-420 line’s flexible layout practices, with a typical fit identified as 1 crew + 5 passengers even though the FAA record lists 8 seats; this reflects how operator configuration can differ from maximum certification. Avionics installations in this airframe utilize a Honda-customized Garmin G3000 suite, supporting advanced flight-deck automation and mission flexibility for owner-operator or charter use. Based in Bozeman, MT by association with the owner entity, the aircraft’s performance characteristics—long range and high cruise speed—make it suitable for regional business missions, point-to-point transport, and light corporate operations consistent with single-pilot or two-pilot dispatch models. Maintenance considerations align with the HA-420’s twin HF-120 turbofan powerplants and Garmin-integrated systems, with scheduled inspections and OEM-supported service networks typical for this relatively modern 2021 airframe.

The Honda HA-420 HondaJet family occupies a light business jet niche characterized by an efficient over‑wing engine mount, high cruise speeds, and transcontinental regional range; this airframe’s 422 kt cruise and 1,223 nm range underscore that positioning. Competitors in the class include other light-to-mid-size business jets that trade cabin size, speed, and operating economics; buyer and charter demand tends to favor aircraft offering single-pilot capability, modern avionics like the Garmin G3000, and low-cycle, well-documented maintenance histories. For resale and ongoing ownership, factors such as documented seating certification (FAA-listed 8 seats versus typical layout), engine time on the twin GE Honda HF-120 units, and the provenance of the registered owner are central to valuation and marketability.
