N100KZ

This airframe, registered as N100KZ, is a Learjet 45 built in 1999 with serial number 45-065. The aircraft was manufactured by Learjet (Bombardier Aerospace) and is registered in the US; it is owned by the corporation LEAR 100KZ LLC, headquartered in Austin, TX, US. Listed with an asking value of $1,995,000, the airframe’s public records and sale listing emphasize its late-1990s build standard and a corporate ownership structure rather than individual or operator registration.

The cabin of this specific Learjet 45 is configured as an executive 8-passenger double-club with lavatory and features tan leather upholstery as noted in the sale listing, while the aircraft maintains a certified seating complement of 12. Avionics are listed as a Collins Proline 4 WAAS/LPV/ADS-B fit per the airframe’s sale materials, supporting current navigation and surveillance mandates and enabling precision approaches. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would include short-to-medium-range corporate or charter flights within the aircraft’s 1,968 nm range at a cruise speed near 444 kts, based out of its owner’s Austin, Texas location. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow Learjet 45 program norms, with attention to Honeywell TFE731-20-series engine support and avionics logbook compliance for ADS-B and WAAS/LPV capabilities.

The Learjet 45 family occupies a light-corporate jet niche focused on high-speed cruise and high-altitude performance, exemplified by this airframe’s 51,000 ft ceiling and 444 kt cruise. Competing models in similar missions include early-model Cessna Citation series and early Gulfstream entry-level jets; buyers typically value the Learjet 45 for speed and climb performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 1999-build Learjet 45 include airframe hours, engine program status for the Honeywell TFE731-20 series, and the presence of upgraded avionics such as Collins Proline 4, which can positively affect marketability.
