SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On September 23, 2008, the FAA 

published Special Condition No. 23– 

227–SC for the Honda Aircraft Company 

new model HA–420. The HA–420 is a 

four to five passenger (depending on 

configuration), two crew, lightweight 

business jet with a 43,000-foot service 

ceiling and a maximum takeoff weight 

of 9,963 pounds. The airplane is 

powered by two GE-Honda Aero 

Engines (GHAE) HF–120 turbofan 

engines mounted above the wings 

towards the aft of the airplane. 

On October 11, 2006, Honda Aircraft 

Company applied for a type certificate 

for their new Model HA–420 aircraft. 

On October 10, 2013, Honda Aircraft 

Company requested an extension with 

an effective application date of October 

1, 2013. This extension changed the 

type certification basis to amendment 

23–62. 

Reason for Withdrawal 

The FAA is withdrawing Special 

Condition No. 23–227–SC because 

Honda Aircraft Company elected to 

revise the model HA–420 certification 

basis to amendment 23–62. This 

amendment contains adequate and 

appropriate standards for engine fire 

extinguishing systems. 

The authority citation for this Special 

Condition withdrawal is 49 U.S.C. 

106(g), 40113 and 44701; 14 CFR 21.16 

and 21.17; and 14 CFR 11.38 and 11.19. 

Conclusion 

Withdrawal of this special condition 

does not preclude the FAA from issuing 

another notice on the subject matter in 

the future or committing the agency to 

any future course of action.
