[Avionics Today 07-12-2016] The FAA has granted Honda Aircraft a production certificate to build the HA-420 HondaJet, an advanced light jet, at its world headquarters in Greensboro, North Carolina. The production certificate grants Honda Aircraft the authorization to produce, flight test and issue airworthiness certificates for the HondaJet for customer deliveries.

FAA Small Aircraft Directorate Manager for the Central Region Melvin Johnson presented the Production Certificate to Honda Aircraft Company on Friday, July 8. The company has been steadily ramping up production since receiving FAA type certification for the HondaJet last year.
