N198HB

The airframe bearing tail number N198HB is a Learjet 60 built in 2000 with serial number 60-198. It is recorded as owned by ATI JET INC, a corporation based in El Paso, TX, US, and operates on a US registration as a fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft. Operator listings and registry data note an executive interior configuration and an FAA-certified seating capacity that differs from typical operator layouts; FAA records show 11-seat certification while market listings reference a 6–8 passenger executive cabin. No public record of major ownership transfers beyond the current corporate owner is provided in the available data.

The airframe is fitted with an executive cabin layout in operator listings, typically configured for six to eight passengers for business or charter missions, while FAA certification lists 11 seats—an operational distinction that affects weight-and-balance and charter capacity. Avionics are listed as Collins Pro Line 4, supporting conventional long-range business-jet navigation and communications profiles appropriate for transcontinental and near-international flights within the Learjet 60 performance envelope. Based in El Paso under ATI JET INC, typical missions would include point-to-point business travel and on-demand charter runs within the continental United States and nearby international destinations, leveraging a cruise of 425 kts and a range of 2,405 nm. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include typical attention to PW305A engine service requirements and avionics obsolescence planning for Pro Line 4 installations.

The Learjet 60 occupies a midsize light-medium business jet niche, prized for high cruise speeds and a 51,000 ft ceiling that enables efficient, fast point-to-point operations. Competing models in similar mission roles include later-generation light-medium business jets offering upgraded cabins and modern avionics suites; consequently, resale and charter demand hinge on cabin refurbishment, avionics upgrades, and engine maintenance status. For this airframe, the combination of PW305A engines, Pro Line 4 avionics, and the dual reality of an executive layout versus an 11-seat certification are key factors influencing operator utility and marketability.
