Honda Aircraft Completes Autoland TIA Tests, SAF Flight
Garmin's safety system will be added to the HondaJet Elite II
Fueling HondaJet with 100% SAF
Honda Aircraft's HondaJet became the first twin-engine very light jet to run on 100% sustainable aviation fuel during recent flight tests.

With type inspection authorization testing of the HondaJet Elite II’s Garmin Autoland system now complete, final FAA test pilot evaluation is next. This will be followed by full Autoland certification and deployment in new-production HondaJets. Honda Aircraft also conducted a test flight of a HondaJet running 100% sustainable aviation fuel (SAF).

When Autoland is certified on the HondaJet, this will be the first FAA approval of the system on a very light twinjet. Autoland is already certified on Cirrus SR-series pistons and the SF50 Vision Jet, Beechcraft King Airs, Pilatus PC-12 Pro, Piper M700, and Daher TBM 960.
