N552DB

This entry covers airframe N552DB, a Honda HA-420 (HondaJet) built in 2017 with serial number 42000061. The aircraft is owned by HONDA AVIATION SERVICE CO INC, a corporation based in Greensboro, NC, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s registry shows corporate ownership and operation consistent with company flight department use; the airframe has remained with the named corporate owner since manufacture. Valuation records list the aircraft at $3,800,000, reflecting market positioning for late-model HondaJets in corporate fleets.

The cabin of N552DB is typically fitted in a 4–6 place executive club layout, with belts and optional side seats permitting up to 7–8 passengers in some configurations, enabling flexible mission profiles from short business hops to longer transcontinental legs within the aircraft’s 1,206 nm range. Avionics are equipped with the Garmin G3000, common to the HA-420/Elite series, supporting modern flight-deck automation and situational awareness for single-pilot or two-pilot operations. Based at the owner’s location in Greensboro, NC, the aircraft is suited to corporate transport, owner-operator missions, and on-demand charters where permitted, with maintenance and operation managed under corporate flight department policies. Routine maintenance considerations align with HF120 turbofan support and Honda Aircraft Company service intervals.

The Honda HA-420 family occupies the very light/entry-level light business jet niche, offering high cruise speed (here 422 kts) and efficient short-field performance relative to some competitors. Competing models include other VLJs and light jets that trade cabin size and range for acquisition cost; with a listed value of $3,800,000, this airframe reflects residual pricing for a 2017 HA-420 in corporate service. Buyer and charter demand tends to favor operators seeking modern avionics (Garmin G3000) and efficient twin HF120 powerplants, while maintenance and resale considerations focus on engine time, airframe hours, and adherence to Honda Aircraft Company recommended service schedules.
