N178MM

This entry concerns airframe N178MM, a production Bombardier-built business jet delivered in the year 2000 with serial number 60-178. The airframe is owned by Hop-A-Jet Worldwide Jet Charter Inc, a corporate operator based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US, and is operated from that home base under U.S. registration. The aircraft presents as a typical early-2000s Learjet 60XR example numerically valued at $1,150,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and market position among fixed-wing multi-engine business jets. No other registry actions or ownership changes are published in the provided data.

The aircraft is fitted with an executive seven-place cabin in the typical Learjet 60XR layout, incorporating a forward galley and a belted lavatory aft, consistent with corporate charter configurations for short- to medium-haul missions. Avionics aboard this airframe include a Collins avionics stack with dual Universal UNS-1E flight management systems, Collins WXR-840 weather radar, Honeywell MK V EGPWS, and Collins TCAS II, supporting IFR commercial charter and corporate operations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration and range include transcontinental U.S. trips and point-to-point regional charters out of the Fort Lauderdale base, balancing speed and mid-range payload. Maintenance considerations follow Learjet 60XR norms, with systems and engine support focused on the twin PW305A powerplants and the installed Collins and Honeywell avionics suite.

The airframe is a member of the Bombardier Learjet 60XR family, a mid-size business jet positioned for customers needing high cruise speeds and a 51,000 ft service ceiling in a compact airframe. Competitors in its performance niche target similar mid-range missions and may influence buyer or charter demand for older production-year examples. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2000-built airframe are driven by engine time on the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A pair, avionics pedigree, and overall condition, factors reflected in the stated valuation.
