The cabin of N526BM is presented in a typical executive layout accommodating 1 crew + 5–6 pax with a forward galley and a belted lavatory; an optional 7-place configuration is noted as available. The aircraft is typically equipped with a Garmin G3000 avionics suite in the Elite S fit, supporting advanced flight management, integrated synthetic vision and touchscreen control common to this fitment. Operated from Lakewood, NY by a private LLC, the jet’s profile suits short-to-medium range corporate missions, owner-flown trips and on-demand charter work within the aircraft’s 1,437 nm range and high-speed cruise capability. Maintenance considerations align with light twin turbofan operations and GE Honda HF120 engine support infrastructure.
The Honda HA-420 (HondaJet Elite S) occupies a niche for light, high-speed, short- to mid-range executive jets, emphasizing efficient cruise speeds and fuel-efficient turbofan engines. With a cruise of 422 kts and ceiling of 43,000 ft, it competes with other light bizjets offering similar mission flexibility and cabin comfort. Buyer and charter demand is driven by efficient operating economics and modern avionics such as the Garmin G3000; resale considerations include engine support lifecycle for the GE Honda HF120 and the airframe’s configuration and maintenance history, both of which materially affect market value.
