N1926S

This airframe, registered as N1926S, is a 1999-built Learjet 31A with serial number 31-180, manufactured by Learjet Inc (Bombardier). The aircraft is owned by HIGH PERFORMANCE AIRCRAFT LLC, an El Cajon, California–based limited liability company that appears as the on-registry operator and home base for the type certificate data. The airframe is outfitted and operated in the United States registry and carries an estimated market valuation of $986,000. Recorded ownership under HIGH PERFORMANCE AIRCRAFT LLC marks the most recent registry action affecting this airframe.

The cabin on this serial-configured Learjet 31A is described as a typical 6–8 place executive club layout, although the registry lists 10 seats and allows for belted lavatory configurations, reflecting flexibility between executive and higher-density seating. Avionics are noted as the typical Learjet 31A fit of Bendix/King EFIS-50 paired with a dual KFC-3100 autopilot installation, though many individual examples carry aftermarket variations or upgrades. Mission profiles for this airframe primarily include short-to-medium range executive transport and high-speed point-to-point travel within a roughly 1,290 nm radius, operating from the owner's El Cajon, CA base for regional and transcontinental hops where high cruise speed and climb performance to the service ceiling of 51,000 ft are advantageous. Maintenance considerations align with the high-cycle, high-performance turbofan installation and potential avionics upgrade paths common to late-1990s Learjet 31A airframes.

The Learjet 31A family occupies a performance niche for light business jets that emphasize high-speed cruise and high-altitude capability, competing historically with other light-cabin jets offering similar mission ranges. Buyers and charter operators value the type for quick regional transits and efficient climb to flight levels that permit favorable winds; resale and maintenance considerations include TFE731 engine lifecycle management and avionics modernization. Given the airframe’s 1999 build year and the recorded valuation of $986,000, market interest will hinge on logbook completeness, avionics fit compared to typical 31A configurations, and any recent airframe/engine shop visits.
