N542MR

This entry covers airframe N542MR, a 2019-built Honda HA-420 HondaJet Elite with serial number 42000138. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by AVIATION SERVICES THE THIRD INC TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US; the listing as a corporate trustee suggests ownership held in trust rather than by an individual operator. No public, detailed valuation or independent condition reports are published for this specific airframe in the provided data. Registry information confirms U.S. registration and corporate ownership; further operator movements, leases, or notable incident records are not provided.

The cabin for this airframe is outfitted in a typical executive layout accommodating 1 crew plus 6 passengers, with an alternative configuration possible for 1+7 seating; club seating and a private aft lavatory are specified. Avionics fit for this aircraft is the Garmin G3000, supporting integrated flight management, touchscreen controls, and modern cockpit situational awareness consistent with corporate light-jet operations. Given its range of 1,437 nm and cruise speed of 422 kts, typical missions for this specific HondaJet Elite would include short- to medium-range business trips and on-demand charter legs originating from or coordinated through the owner’s home base in Wilmington, DE, US, subject to operator assignment. No specific maintenance schedule, special equipment, or unique retrofit history is provided for this airframe.

The Honda HA-420 HondaJet Elite occupies the light-cabin, high-speed niche in the fixed-wing multi-engine category, combining overwing-engine mounting with low cabin noise and efficient cruise performance—this airframe’s 422 kts cruise and 43,000 ft ceiling underline that positioning. Competitors in mission profile and market segment typically include other light-cabin business jets offering similar range and speed; demand among buyers and charter operators is often driven by a combination of operating cost, short-field performance, and avionics capability such as the Garmin G3000 fit. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial, as for the type generally, hinge on engine time on type for the GE Honda HF120 units and the documented upkeep in corporate ownership records.
