If you had around $4.8 million to spend on a new light jet, you might shop the Cessna Citation M2, the Embraer Phenom 100 and the HA-420 HondaJet. After earning Part 23 FAA certification in December 2015, Honda Aircraft Company has already delivered over 40 HondaJets and has spooled up production for a lot more deliveries at its corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility in Greensboro, North Carolina. Aviation Consumer editor Larry Anglisano along with Rick Durden recently visited the facility for a look at the aircraft and the Flight Safety-partnered pilot transition program. In this video, Honda Aircraft Company's manager of flight operation and demonstration discusses the aircraft's design, systems and performance. A flight trial report follows in the July 2017 issue of Aviation Consumer magazine.
