C-GHED Aircraft Overview
C-GHED is a HondaJet registered in Canada with serial number 42000103. Very light jets represent the most accessible segment of jet aviation, designed for short-haul missions where speed and efficiency outweigh cabin size. The aircraft is associated with Okanagan Air Corp., registered through the TCCA.
HondaJet Market Position
The HondaJet introduced an over-the-wing engine mount configuration that increases cabin volume and reduces drag. Its GE Honda HF120 engines are the most fuel-efficient in the very light jet segment. The HA-420 and subsequent Elite and Elite II variants have made Honda Aircraft the best-selling VLJ manufacturer since 2017.
Performance Profile
The HondaJet achieves cruise speeds around 422 knots with a range of 1,223 nautical miles. While shorter-legged than light jets, this performance covers most regional routes within a 500 to 800-mile radius. Power comes from 2x GE Honda HF120. The aircraft reaches altitudes up to 43,000 feet.
Mission Profile
VLJs serve a distinct niche: owner-pilots, air taxi operators, and travelers on short hops between regional airports. The HondaJet seats up to 6 passengers in a compact cabin. The economics work best on legs under two hours where the time savings over driving or airline connections justify the operating cost.
Charter & Availability
C-GHED is registered in Canada under the TCCA. Contact The Jet Finder to inquire about charter availability for this aircraft or similar HondaJet platforms worldwide.
Insider Note
Very light jets are single-pilot certified, which reduces crew costs but limits duty-day flexibility on multi-leg itineraries. For back-to-back missions exceeding eight hours of duty time, a two-pilot crew or overnight rest may be required.
