The APMG S package offers owners the opportunity to upgrade their aircraft with technical innovations introduced on more recent iterations of the platform, such as the HondaJet Elite S. Honda Aircraft Company will offer the APMG S modifications package through the company’s Greensboro Service Center as well as its global network of 21 Authorized Service Centers. Moreover, the company has already modified several pre-owned HondaJet aircraft with APMG S upgrades, which are available through its pre-owned aircraft program.

The HondaJet APMG S upgrade package includes avionics software and hardware that deliver faster processing speeds and enable future innovation across the legacy HondaJet fleet. These enhancements also bring key features from the HondaJet Elite S – such as the Advanced Steering Augmentation System (ASAS) – to a wider portion of the fleet. These advancements support handling precision and expand crosswind capability. As part of the HondaJet APMG S modifications, owners and operators also gain access to a 300-pound increase in Maximum Takeoff Weight (MTOW) over the unmodified legacy HondaJet. This enhancement enables operators to access an expanded range of useful loads. Operators also gain Graphical Weight and Balance features, enabling pilots to input loading and fuel data to estimate takeoff and landing weights.

The APMG S modifications package has been certified by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for installation on aircraft registered in the United States of America, with foreign certification planned to follow.
