N238LM

This entry covers airframe N238LM, a 1999-built Learjet 45, serial number 039, manufactured by Learjet Inc. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by BCP FA AP LLC, an LLC based in Providence, RI, US, which represents the primary recorded ownership and operational base for the type certificate and registry. Notable registry actions include its 1999 build and continued civil US registration; the airframe is listed with an estimated market value of $7,500,000, reflecting its configuration and age. Condition highlights are tied to typical late-1990s Learjet 45 systems and avionics fit common to that production block.

The cabin on N238LM features a flat-floor layout with a typical double-club seating arrangement for eight to nine passengers, although FAA data for this specific registration lists a certified seating capacity of 12. Avionics are typically fitted with the Honeywell Primus 1000 suite (Primus 1000 EFIS), a common configuration for late-1990s Learjet 45s that supports glass-panel primary flight displays and integrated systems management. Operationally, the airframe’s 1,700 nm range and high-altitude capability to 51,000 ft make it suitable for regional to transcontinental executive transport and air-taxi missions from its Providence, RI base. Maintenance considerations for this aircraft include periodic hot-section inspections for the AlliedSignal TFE731 engines and avionics support for the Primus 1000 suite when sourcing parts for an older EFIS installation.

The Learjet 45 family occupies the light-cabin, high-performance sector, offering a balance of speed—436 kts cruise—and transcontinental range within the fixed-wing multi-engine category. Competing models in its era include other light to midsize business jets with similar mission profiles; buyer and charter demand tends to favor well-maintained examples with updated avionics and clear maintenance records. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1999 serial 039 airframe reflect the premium for documented ownership like BCP FA AP LLC and the potential cost of upgrades from original Primus 1000 installations to modern avionics packages.
