Banyan Air Service recently completed its first HondaJet Advanced Performance Modification Group (APMG) package, which was developed by Honda Aircraft to offer improved performance and avionics capabilities to owners of the HA-420 HondaJet.

The APMG package modifies a HondaJet into a better performing HondaJet. It provides the aircraft with a take-off field length reduction of 443 feet to 3,491 feet, forward baggage capacity increased to 200 pounds, an increased maximum take-off weight of 10,700 lbs. resulting in more mission flexibility.

The APMG modifications include the extension of the horizontal stabilizer, removal of vortex generators on the tail and winglets, elimination of the mid-aileron fence, plus it includes many Garmin G3000 avionics software upgrades that enhance situational awareness and safety. Some of these upgrades are increased connectivity with Flight Stream 510 compatibility, electronic checklist, and advanced integrated Take Off & Landing (TOLD) calculations.

In addition to APMG modifications, Banyan’s MRO team provides complete services for the HondaJet including; inspections, structural modifications, engine services, avionics installations of Wi-Fi and high speed data, and Garmin G3000 service and repair. The avionics team has also completed numerous installations of the Gogo AVANCE™ L3 Wi-Fi system which provides in-flight Wi-Fi connectivity for the HondaJet.

The Banyan aircraft sales team has been recognized for their sales of the HondaJet. During last year’s Honda Aircraft’s annual dealer meeting, Banyan’s Michael Gibson was recognized as the top sales performer in the world.

Banyan Air Service based at Fort Lauderdale Executive Airport is the exclusive HondaJet Sales and Service center for Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Tennessee.
