Honda Aircraft has added a new Upgrade Package that offers the current HondaJet Elite owners the opportunity to implement Honda Aircraft Company's latest performance and avionics software upgrades on their aircraft.
According to Honda, the Upgrade Package will increase the maximum takeoff weight by 200 pounds allowing customers to fly up to 120 nautical miles further at a higher payload or take an additional passenger. In addition, Honda has installed the avionics software upgrade option that includes the installation of FAA Datacom and ACARS, which replace traditional voice commands with text-based messaging to improve the clarity and efficiency of communications.
Amod Kelkar, Head of Commercial Business Unit and VP of Customer Service, at Honda Aircraft Company, said: “We are thrilled to announce the Upgrade Package to our HondaJet Elite owners. This upgrade package is another testament to our continued efforts in Customer Service to provide upgrade options to our ever-growing fleet. We remain committed to setting a new standard in business aviation by advancing innovative design and engineering solutions to our existing customer base."
Honda further claims that the newly introduced Advanced Steering Augmentation System (ASAS) will not only reduce the pilot workload but will also benefit from an increased crosswind operational capability.
