N239AY

This entry covers airframe N239AY, a Bombardier Learjet 31A built in 2000 with manufacturer's serial 31-189. The airframe is recorded as owned by Bank of Utah Trustee, a trust based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is U.S.-registered. The aircraft's condition and valuation are summarized at $986,000, reflecting its age, configuration and typical market considerations for late-model Learjet 31As.

The cabin of N239AY is laid out in a typical six-place executive club configuration with a forward galley and a belted lavatory; a divan installation is possible in the aft cabin depending on owner preference or modification. Avionics are described as the common original fit of King EFIS-50 with Dual KFC-3100 autopilot, while individual retrofit paths are noted depending on operator upgrades and maintenance cycles. Typical mission profiles for this airframe align with short to medium-range executive transport, leveraging its 1,290 nm range and high cruise speed for fast point-to-point travel; the trust ownership suggests private corporate or trustee-directed use operated from a Salt Lake City, UT home base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include lifecycle management of the Honeywell TFE731 series engines and potential avionics retrofits that can materially affect dispatch reliability and marketability.

The Bombardier Learjet 31A occupies a light, high-performance business jet niche defined by high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft ceiling, appealing to buyers seeking rapid climb and cruise performance. Competitors in the class typically include other late-model light jets offering similar speed and range; resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2000 build year, the supplied avionics baseline, and engine type, all of which drive buyer demand and refurbishment costs. The reported valuation of $986,000 situates this individual aircraft within the secondary market where airframe condition, avionics upgrades, and documented maintenance history heavily influence final sale price.
