The HondaJet Owners & Pilots Association (HJOPA) has released a video and developed a training program that outline the correct landing technique for the HA-420 HondaJet. A spate of recent and past HondaJet runway excursions has raised concerns in the business aviation community, and HJOPA chair of safety and board member David DeCurtis is leading the effort to make sure HondaJet pilots understand precisely how to prevent them.

According to AIN research, there have been 21 HondaJet runway excursions, including nine since publication of this comparison of excursions between aircraft types on Sept. 1, 2023. The latest took place at Chubu Centrair International Airport (RJGG) in Japan on April 13.
