N224SB

This entry covers a specific Learjet 45 airframe, registered as N224SB, built in 2000 with serial number 102. The aircraft is listed on U.S. civil registers and is recorded as owned by the corporation BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE of Salt Lake City, UT. Its current registration and trust ownership structure suggest use as a corporate or managed asset rather than an individually registered private owner. The airframe is valued at $3,000,000 and retains configuration and equipment typical of the Learjet 45 family as reflected in registry and equipment notes.

The U.S. registration lists 12 seats for this airframe, while typical executive interiors for the Learjet 45 family are 8–9 passengers; the specific executive fit for this airframe is not published. Avionics equipment for this airframe is consistent with the family fit, typically the Honeywell Primus 1000, supporting standard corporate and charter mission avionics capability. Operational use for this airframe under a corporate trustee ownership pattern commonly includes business transport, fractional or trust-held charter support, and executive repositioning flights within the aircraft’s roughly 1,970 nm range and high-speed cruise profile. Maintenance considerations follow Learjet 45 schedules for twin-engine Honeywell TFE731 powerplants, with high-altitude systems and pressurization demands pertinent to operations to the 51,000 ft certified ceiling.

The Learjet 45 occupies the light-to-midsize long-range business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and transcontinental point-to-point performance relative to contemporaries. Competing models in mission and capacity include later-model light-cabin jets and early midsize types; buyers often choose the family for speed and runway performance. Resale value and marketability for this airframe are influenced by year (2000), serial status (102), engine model (TFE731-20BR), and installed avionics (Primus 1000), with trust-held ownership often indicating corporate fleet management and potential availability for managed operations or sale.
