N116PJ

This article covers the specific Learjet 40XR airframe bearing U.S. registration N116PJ, factory-built in 2005 with manufacturer serial number 45-2027. The airframe is owned and registered to FIREROCK LLC, a limited liability company based in Bethany, OK, US, and operates on a U.S. civil registration. The aircraft’s equipment, configuration and registry status indicate standard executive use; no multiple-operator history or prior registries are listed in the supplied data. At the published estimate date the airframe is valued at $2,050,000, reflecting its age, equipment fit and market positioning.

The cabin of this Learjet 40XR is outfitted in an executive club layout with 6 cabin seats in club arrangement + 1 belted lavatory seat (7 pax), supported by a forward galley, an aft belted lavatory and an external baggage compartment; these features indicate a short-to-medium haul executive transport role. Onboard avionics comprise a Honeywell Primus (Primus/DU-870 EFIS) suite, dual RNZ-851 nav/comms, UNS-1C FMS and a Honeywell WU-660 weather radar, providing integrated navigation, communications and weather capability for business travel and corporate missions. Typical operations for this configuration are point-to-point business flights within the aircraft’s 1,862 nm range at cruise speeds near 436 kts, operating from a home base in Bethany, OK for owner/operator transport. Maintenance considerations for this airframe will focus on Honeywell TFE731 engine support and avionics lifecycle for the Primus/DU-870 and UNS-1C components.

The Learjet 40XR, manufactured by Learjet Inc., occupies a light business jet niche emphasizing high cruise speed and altitude capability, with a service ceiling of 51,000 ft and transcontinental regional range. Competing models in its class include other light-to-light-medium jets offering similar mission flexibility; its twin Honeywell TFE731-20BR-1B engines are common in the fleet, aiding parts availability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect its 2005 build year, avionics fit and the certified seating/cabin layout, which influence demand among owner-operators and charter brokers looking for high-altitude performance and compact executive interiors.
