Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N617AF is a 2018 production Honda HA-420, serial 42000122, manufactured by HONDA AIRCRAFT CO LLC. The aircraft is owned by Cutter Flight Management Inc, a corporation based in Albuquerque, NM, US, and is registered in the US. Valued at $4,700,000, this specific airframe’s registry reflects a corporate ownership and operation profile consistent with executive transport and charter use.
This Honda HA-420 is configured in a typical executive layout with 1 crew + 6 passengers and is configurable to 1+7, reflecting flexible cabin utility for corporate or charter missions. The installed avionics suite is the Garmin G3000, providing integrated flight management, touchscreen controls, and advanced situational awareness for single- or two-pilot operations. Operated from Albuquerque, NM, US under corporate ownership, the aircraft is suited to regional high-speed executive missions; its range and cruise performance support nonstop flights across much of the continental United States. Maintenance considerations follow the HA-420 platform standards for twin turbofan light jets and are managed under corporate oversight to preserve residual value at the stated $4,700,000 level.
The Honda HA-420 occupies the light twin turbofan niche, offering high cruise speed and a 43,000 ft service ceiling that positions it competitively against entry-level light business jets. With seating for up to eight and the Garmin G3000 avionics fit, demand typically comes from corporate flight departments and charter operators seeking a modern, fuel-efficient small jet. Resale considerations for this airframe center on airframe age (built 2018), serial 42000122, engine type (GE Honda HF120), and the continuity of corporate maintenance records; these factors inform valuation and marketability at the listed $4,700,000.
