FAA Withdraws Special Condition For HondaJet

Reached Agreement With Honda Aircraft Company For The Change

The FAA is withdrawing a previously published notice granting special conditions for the Honda Aircraft Company model HA-420 jet airplane. The agency has withdrawn Special Condition No. 23-217-SC through mutual agreement with Honda Aircraft Company.

On December 10, 2007, the FAA published Special Condition No. 23-217-SC for the Honda Aircraft Company new model HA-420 (HondaJet). The HA-420 is a four to five passenger (depending on configuration), two crew, lightweight business jet with a 43,000-foot service ceiling and a maximum takeoff weight of 9963 pounds. The airplane is powered by two GE-Honda Aero Engines (GHAE) HF-120 turbofan engines mounted above the wings towards the aft of the airplane.

On October 11, 2006, Honda Aircraft Company applied for a type certificate for their new Model HA-420 aircraft. On October 10, 2013, Honda Aircraft Company requested an extension with an effective application date of October 1, 2013. This extension changed the type certification basis to amendment 23-62.

The FAA is withdrawing Special Condition No. 23-217-SC because Honda Aircraft Company elected to revise the model HA-420 certification basis to amendment 23-62.

Withdrawal of this special condition does not preclude the FAA from issuing another notice on the subject matter in the future or committing the agency to any future course of action.
