  1. How many Honda Jets have made similar excursions? Seems I have read about quite a few.

  2. 6000’ runway. No reverse thrusters. Didn’t look at conditions but coming in a little high or hot actually makes for a challenging landing. You need to be right on the numbers without reverse thrusters. A number of these types have done the exact same thing if you do a search on this website. I doubt it was a gust of wind. Just my opinion and I could be wrong. I did go for demo ride and it’s a very nice aircraft. They told me my low altitude home airport at 5000’ Is marginal in adverse weather.
    conditions.

    1. The METAR that day/time had an 80 degree crosswind gusting to 30 ahead of rain an hour or two later. That's a little much for anyone.

  3. All pilots like reversers . Wonder why Honda did not add reversers ? Several Honda Jets have run off runway . Maybe good aftermarket products idea ? Better idea than Citation active winglets that have caused some crashes but keep selling

  4. It needs spoilers more than anything. Reverse would be a luxury

  5. This is 4th one for this Company. I fly the HJ, 20kt xwind hard limit. Wrong decision, probably pushed to do it, I used to work there. Always pushing vs safety. They just had runway incursion in GSO as well.

  6. Up to 17 now I've hear for runway excursions. Out of about 200 aircraft.
