Model & Market Context

This article covers airframe N154RT, a 1998-built Bombardier Learjet 31A, serial number 154. The aircraft is owned by MNBCO LLC, a corporation based in East Petersburg, PA, US, and is U.S.-registered. Registry and sales listings for this specific airframe note an avionics and equipment fit consistent with late-model retrofits; the airframe was offered with a published valuation of $895,000. Operational references emphasize its executive-configured interior and typical light-jet mission use rather than any unique incident history or major registry actions.

The cabin of N154RT is outfitted in a 6-place executive club layout with an enclosed aft lavatory and a belted lavatory seat, described as "6 executive seats plus belted lavatory" and placarded for up to 10 occupants. Avionics and mission equipment reported in sale listings include a Bendix/King EFIS-50 EFIS, dual AHRS, dual Garmin GTX transponders, a Garmin 750 Nav/Com, TCAS, Bendix RDR-2000 weather radar, and dual KFC-3100 autopilots, supporting instrument operations and typical business-jet routing. With a long-range cruise capability and high-altitude envelope, the airframe is suited for short- to medium-haul corporate trips, positioning flights, and air-taxi roles operated from the owner’s U.S. base.

The Learjet 31A family occupies the light, high-speed business-jet niche, prioritizing speed and altitude capability over large cabin volume; N154RT reflects this with a 441-knot cruise and 51,000-foot ceiling. Competing models in mission profile include other light jets from the same era; buyers often weigh operating economics, avionics upgrades, and lifecycle maintenance on TFE731-series engines. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe include age-related inspections, avionics modernization noted in listings, and market demand for executive-configured, short-range high-speed light jets.
