Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N12FN, is a 1975-built Learjet 36 with serial number 36-016. The manufacturer is listed as GATES LEAR JET CORP., and current US-registered ownership is held by GH EQUIPMENT LLC, an LLC based in Dover, DE. FAA records show the cabin capacity recorded as 10 seats, and typical operator layouts for the model are noted as 6–8 pax executive, indicating interior reconfiguration has been a consideration in the aircraft's service life. No other public registry actions or valuation figures are published in the provided data.
FAA-recorded capacity for this specific airframe is 10 seats, while typical operator executive layouts for the model commonly accommodate 6–8 passengers, which suggests this airframe may be configured for higher-density seating or utility missions rather than a full executive interior. With a maximum certified cabin seating noted in the record, missions for this airframe would span medium- to long-range business or light cargo/transport roles consistent with the Learjet 36’s capabilities: transcontinental and regional hops enabled by a 2,857 nm range and a cruise speed near 418 kts. The twin Garrett TFE731 engines, each rated at 3,500 lbf, support high-altitude cruise to the listed service ceiling of 45,000 ft, which benefits fuel efficiency and favorable routing for operator bases in the continental US. Specific avionics fit, interior finishes, and recent maintenance status are not published in the supplied dataset.
The Learjet 36 occupies a light-cabin, long-range niche in the business jet market, offering higher cruise speeds and altitudes relative to some contemporaries while maintaining modest cabin volume. Competing types in the period and used market typically include other light jets with long-range capability; buyer and charter demand for a 1975 Learjet 36 airframe depends heavily on interior configuration, maintenance history, and engine status. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on the Garrett TFE731 engines and the age of the airframe (manufacture year 1975, serial 36-016) as recorded in the registry.
