HondaJet 'Elite' upgrade offered for earlier aircraft

The HondaJet Advanced Performance Modification Group Elite S (APMG S) performance and avionics package is designed for owners and operators of previous HondaJet models. The FAA-certified package brings earlier-generation HondaJets closer to the capabilities of the HondaJet Elite S, adding many of the technological and handling improvements found on newer models.

The APMG S package updates avionics software to achieve faster processing speeds and a platform ready for upgrades. These updates will introduce key Elite S features such as the Advanced Steering Augmentation System, which sharpens directional control and handling precision during ground operations.

Performance gains extend beyond avionics. The APMG S modification provides a 300-pound increase in maximum takeoff weight, which expands useful load flexibility and operational margins, particularly for owners flying with multiple passengers and extended range.

The APMG S package will be available through the Honda Aircraft service center in Greensboro, North Carolina, as well as the company’s global network of 21 authorized service centers. Honda has already completed APMG S upgrades on select aircraft, which are now available through its preowned HondaJet program.
