Honda announced the new $6.95 million iteration of the popular twinjet at the National Business Aviation Association’s Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition in October.
The company plans to add autothrottles and emergency autoland capabilities to its Garmin G3000 avionics suite by the end of 2023, as well as a stabilized approach monitor that gives aural and visual alerts so pilots can maintain a stabilized path on final approach segments.
