About the Honda HA-420 Elite II
Type certificated 2022
Overview
The Honda HA-420 HondaJet Elite II is the current-production apex of the HondaJet line and the first twinjet to bring airliner-style automation – Garmin Autothrottle and Emergency Autoland – to owner-flown operation. It keeps the family’s signature over-the-wing engine mounts, natural-laminar-flow wing, and 422-knot cruise, then adds a ground spoiler, a higher 11,100 lb gross weight, and enough additional fuel to stretch NBAA range to 1,547 nautical miles – roughly 110 nm beyond the Elite it replaced.
What sets the Elite II apart is the flight deck. Garmin Autothrottle, certified in October 2024, made it the first production twin-turbine VLJ with autothrottle; Garmin Emergency Autoland, certified in early 2026, made it the first twinjet able to bring itself to a runway and land if the pilot is incapacitated. For the single-pilot owner flying the family, that automation is the case for buying new over a used Classic: the mission is the same fast, quiet 600-to-1,500 nm business hop, but the workload and the safety net sit in a different league.
Key Features for GA Buyers
- Garmin Emergency Autoland: The first twinjet certified with Autoland, which will navigate to a suitable airport and land without pilot input in an emergency – a safety net no other twinjet in its class offers.
- Garmin Autothrottle: Certified in 2024, it automates thrust management from takeoff through approach, cutting single-pilot workload in the busiest phases of flight.
- Extended range: 1,547 nm NBAA IFR range (four occupants) is roughly 110 nm more than the Elite and Elite S, opening more nonstop city pairs.
- Ground spoiler: A new ground spoiler improves braking authority and shortens the landing rollout on the shorter runways owner-operators favor.
Trade-offs
- Price: At roughly $6.95 million new (2026), it commands a substantial premium over used legacy light jets and earlier HondaJet variants.
- Systems complexity: The deep Garmin automation rewards recurrent training and depends on software currency; it is most at home with owners who fly often.
- Payload versus range: As with every HA-420, full seats and full tanks remain a trade-off; the headline 1,547 nm assumes four occupants, not a full cabin.
