N192WS2019 HondaJet Elite

Overview

This airframe, tail number N192WS, is a 2019-built Honda HA-420 (HondaJet Elite), serial 42000156, manufactured by Honda Aircraft Company. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporate entity Tempest Aviation LLC, located in Dover, DE. The aircraft’s registration and corporate ownership reflect use consistent with corporate or charter operations based from its Delaware home base.

Operations & Cabin

The specific cabin of this airframe is configured for 1 crew plus 5-6 passengers in an executive layout, with a belted lavatory option available on the Elite variant. Avionics fit for this airframe is the Garmin G3000 integrated flight deck, supporting modern flight management, synthetic vision and advanced situational awareness tools typical of the Elite configuration. Typical missions for this HondaJet Elite center on short- to medium-range executive transport and light charter work across the continental U.S., capitalizing on high cruise speed and single-pilot operations when authorized. Based in Dover, DE under corporate ownership, maintenance considerations align with factory-recommended schedules for the GE Honda HF120 engines and Honda Aircraft Company airframe inspections, with resale and upkeep values influenced by Garmin G3000-equipped example desirability.

Model & Market Context

The Honda HA-420 occupies the very light jet niche, offering a blend of high cruise speed (here 422 kts), efficient range (here 1,223 nm) and modern avionics that compete with light jets such as the Embraer Phenom 100/300 and Cessna Citation M2 in owner-operator and small charter markets.
