N612SR

This article covers airframe N612SR, a 2019-built Honda HA-420 HondaJet Elite with manufacturer serial number 42000173. The airframe was completed by Honda Aircraft Company, LLC in 2019 and is recorded on U.S. registry to the corporation BAY AREA/DIABLO PETROLEUM CO, located in Martinez, CA, US. The FAA registration lists configuration and seating capacity as 8 seats for this specific registration, and the airframe is assigned to U.S. operations under registration US. Valuation records cite a market value of $3,200,000, reflecting its condition and equipment fit for its model year and configuration.

The registered configuration for N612SR shows the cabin arranged for typical single-pilot operation with 1 crew + 5–7 passengers, while the FAA record explicitly lists 8 seats for this registration, which may reflect a supplemental interior or a specific corporate layout. The airplane is equipped with the Garmin G3000 integrated avionics suite, supporting advanced flight management and situational awareness for business missions. Based at Martinez, CA, US under corporate ownership, the aircraft is well suited to short- to mid-range executive transport missions consistent with its 1,437 nm range and high-speed cruise of 422 kts, commonly used for regional point-to-point travel and charter-type operations. Maintenance considerations align with the HondaJet Elite’s composite fuselage and overwing engine mount design, with corporate operators typically following factory-recommended programs.

As a member of the Honda HA-420 HondaJet Elite family, N612SR occupies the light business jet niche characterized by high cruise speed and an elevated service ceiling of 43,000 ft. Typical competitors in this segment include other light jets offering similar mission performance; buyers and charter operators value the HA-420 for its cabin layout and fuel efficiency compared to older designs. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial reflect its recent-build status (2019), factory engines (GE Honda HF120), and the presence of the Garmin G3000 avionics suite, factors that influence marketability and operating cost expectations.
