N231TR

This entry covers airframe N231TR, a Learjet 60 built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 230. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by the corporation CAREER AVIATION CO INC of Wilmington, DE, US; no further ownership timeline or operator changes are published in the provided data. As a production Learjet 60 delivered by Learjet Inc (later part of Bombardier Aerospace), this airframe is noted in registry records with a reported market value of $2,600,000, reflecting its age and configuration. The aircraft is categorized as a fixed-wing multi-engine transport and retains its original corporate executive mission profile.

The cabin for this Learjet 60 airframe follows the typical two-crew executive layout and is commonly furnished as a seven- to eight-passenger executive club; registry information for this specific aircraft lists 11 seats, indicating either a high-density or mixed seating configuration. Avionics equipment is recorded as Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4, though many Learjet 60s have been retrofitted to Pro Line 21 in the market—this airframe retains the older Pro Line 4 suite per registry data. Operationally, the type is typically employed on medium-range corporate, charter, or owner-flown missions within its 2,450 nm range and high-speed cruise of 436 kts, benefitting from a high-altitude ceiling of 51,000 ft for favorable routing and fuel efficiency. Maintenance considerations follow Learjet 60 norms, with attention to the PW305A engines and avionics lifecycle given the airframe age.

The Learjet 60 occupies a mid-to-upper light business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and transcontinental range suitable for owner-operators and charter operators seeking performance over maximum cabin volume. Competing models in the market niche include later-generation light midsize jets that emphasize newer avionics and cabin amenities; this airframe’s Pro Line 4 fit and 2001 build year influence buyer demand and resale value, reflected in the listed $2,600,000 valuation. Prospective purchasers and operators typically weigh engine maintenance history, avionics upgrade needs (e.g., to Pro Line 21), and the aircraft’s certified seating arrangement when assessing operational and resale considerations.
