N116AS

This entry covers airframe N116AS, a Learjet 45 built in 2000 with serial number 45-078. The airframe is owned by RA SAILS LLC (an LLC based in Owasso, OK, US) and is registry-marked for operation in the US. The aircraft is list-valued at $2,695,000 in the provided data and presents as a factory-era Learjet 45 example with the typical equipment and configuration noted in sales material. Registration and ownership are recorded to RA SAILS LLC in Owasso, OK, with no other provenance or operator changes supplied.

The cabin for this specific Learjet 45 is described as a double-club arrangement configured for 8 passengers plus a belted lavatory seat according to the sales brochure, with an aft lavatory providing basic long-leg comfort and flexible seating for up to 12 including crew. Avionics fit is listed in Primus/Primus II style, with dual UNS-1Ew FMS, TCAS, EGPWS and ADS‑B cited in the sales listing, matching a late-model avionics suite suitable for IFR, reduced-visibility and commercial charter operations. Typical missions for this airframe would include medium-range executive transport and air-taxi work within the contiguous United States, capitalizing on the aircraft’s 1,968 nm range and cruise speed of 436 kts from its Owasso, OK operator base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe include monitoring of life-limited components consistent with a 2000-build Learjet 45 and standard TFE731 series engine inspections and programs.

The Learjet 45 occupies a light-to-midsize business jet niche emphasizing high cruise speed and a relatively high service ceiling (51,000 ft), competing against contemporaries in the early 2000s light/midsize market. Buyers and charter operators value the model for transcontinental capability on shorter runways and strong climb performance; resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine program status (TFE731-20 series) and avionics modernization, which this airframe partly addresses through Primus-style systems and ADS‑B compliance as listed. Market demand typically favors well-documented maintenance history and upgraded avionics when commanding values near the stated $2,695,000.
