Content Body

HondaJet Elite operators will be able to improve performance and upgrade avionics software on their aircraft under a new upgrade package for the light twinjet. Developed by Honda Aircraft’s advanced performance modification group, the upgrade will increase maximum takeoff weight by 200 pounds, enabling operators to fly up to 120 nm farther at a higher payload or with an additional passenger.


Options for the avionics software upgrades include the installation of FAA data comm and aircraft communications addressing and reporting system. They serve to replace voice commands with text-based messaging for greater clarity and efficiency. And the newly introduced advanced steering augmentation system reduces pilot workload and improves crosswind operational capability.


“This upgrade package is another testament to our continued efforts in customer service to provide upgrade options to our ever-growing fleet,” said Amod Kelkar, Honda Aircraft head of commercial business unit and customer service v-p. The upgrade will be available later this year.
