N145AP

This entry covers airframe N145AP, a 2006-built Learjet 45 with manufacturer serial number 300. The airframe is registered in the United States and is registered to KRESS ENTERPRISES INC, a corporation based in Brimfield, IL, US, which serves as the listed owner and operator/home base for the aircraft. Registry records for this airframe show the standard post-delivery corporate ownership pattern rather than multiple commercial operators or leasebacks. Valuation notes list the aircraft at $3,600,000, reflecting market condition and age for a mid-2000s light business jet in corporate service.

The registry lists 12 seats for N145AP, while typical executive interiors for the type employ an 8–9 passenger double-club executive layout with a forward galley and an aft lavatory; the vessel for this specific airframe is consistent with corporate executive missions. Avionics fit is noted as the Honeywell Primus 1000-series, a common fit for the type that supports standard corporate IFR operations and long-range point-to-point missions. Typical routings for the Learjet 45 family and this airframe include regional to transcontinental business travel within the aircraft’s near-2,000 nm range and high-speed cruise capability, operating from corporate bases such as the owner’s Brimfield, IL area. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow the type’s turbine engine and avionics cycles, with attention to aging systems and typical mid-2000s component service bulletins.

The Learjet 45 occupies the light, high-performance business jet niche with high cruise speed and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft, trading cabin size for speed and climb performance relative to midsize competitors. Competing models in the secondhand market include later-cockpit light jets and early mid-size jets; buyer demand for a 2006 airframe at the listed $3,600,000 is influenced by engine cycles, avionics standardization (Honeywell Primus 1000-series), and interior refurbishment status. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial number include tracking TFE731 life-limited components and ensuring avionics currency to maintain charter or corporate certification standards.
