Rust-Proof Upgrade for Honda Jets Ends Endless Flap Cleaning
Published Date: 4/11/2025
Proposed Rule
Summary
If you own a Honda HA-420 airplane, the FAA wants you to swap out your flap control pushrods for a newer, tougher version that fights rust better. This update builds on earlier rules that had you clean and protect these parts regularly. The change means less maintenance hassle and keeps your plane safer—so get ready to upgrade soon!
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 1 costs, 0 mixed.
Required Pushrod Replacement For HA-420
If you own a Honda Model HA-420 airplane, the FAA would require replacing the flap control pushrods with an improved, more corrosion‑resistant design. The proposed rule would supersede AD 2021-22-12 and add this mandatory replacement for airplanes covered by that AD and for other HA-420 airplanes.
Ends Repetitive CIC Maintenance
If you own a Honda Model HA-420 airplane, the improved pushrods are more corrosion resistant and do not require the repetitive removal, cleaning, and application of corrosion inhibiting compound (CIC) that AD 2021-22-12 required. That change reduces ongoing maintenance hassle while addressing the unsafe condition identified by the FAA.
