N153RB

This entry covers airframe N153RB, a factory-built Learjet 31A completed in 1998 with manufacturer serial number 153. The aircraft is listed in broker material as owned by JCM AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Nashville, TN, US, and is U.S.-registered. Registry and broker information indicate the jet is offered or tracked with a market valuation of $986,000; its configuration and avionics fit are noted on sales listings rather than in public type records. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published in the supplied data.

The cabin of this specific Learjet 31A is configured for 10 seats, consistent with light business jet layouts emphasizing speed and climb performance over large cabin volume. Avionics listed on the broker display include a Garmin GTN-625 GPS, Garmin GTX-345R/GTX-335R transponders, Honeywell/Bendix-King EFIS-50, Honeywell KFC-3100 autopilot, TCAS I, and a Honeywell engine download computer, reflecting a mixed avionics fit that supports both situational awareness and engine monitoring. Typical missions for this airframe would leverage its 441 kts cruise and 1,290 nm range for regional point-to-point business travel, with operations from its operator home base in Nashville, TN supporting corporate or charter work. Maintenance considerations highlighted in the listing emphasize the presence of engine monitoring equipment and a modernized navigation suite relative to original-fit 1990s avionics.

The Learjet 31A sits in the light business jet niche, known for high cruise speed and high-altitude capability up to 51,000 ft, catering to buyers who prioritize speed and climb over cabin volume. Competing models in this performance class commonly include other late-model light jets; resale values and demand are influenced by cumulative hours, avionics updates, and engine condition—factors reflected in this airframe’s broker-listed equipment and the stated valuation of $986,000. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 1998 airframe with Honeywell TFE731 engines typically focus on engine life limits and avionics modernization, both of which are documented in the provided listing for this specific aircraft.
