N251SD

This entry covers airframe N251SD, a 2000-built Learjet 60 with manufacturer designation Learjet Inc. and serial number 60-195. The airframe is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by Hop-A-Jet Worldwide Jet Charter Inc, a corporate operator based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US. The aircraft’s build year and corporate registration place it in the late-model production tranche of the type; any notable registry actions or changes in condition beyond the ownership record are not published in the supplied data.

The airframe is outfitted in a 7-place executive layout (2 crew + 7 passengers) and includes an enclosed lavatory, consistent with executive charter configurations. As a corporate-operated jet, N251SD would typically be employed on short- to mid-range charter missions within the continental United States and to near-offshore international destinations, exploiting the model’s high cruise speed and transcontinental range. Operating from its owner’s base in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US, the aircraft’s cabin and systems arrangement support point-to-point business travel and ad-hoc charter schedules; specific avionics fit and maintenance status are not published in the provided data.

The Learjet 60 occupies a performance niche as a midsize, high-speed light business jet capable of transcontinental sector performance with a service ceiling of 51,000 ft and cruise near 425 kts. Competing models in its class historically include other midsize business jets offering similar speed-range tradeoffs. For corporate operators and charter companies such as Hop-A-Jet Worldwide Jet Charter Inc, considerations typically center on engine maintenance cycles for the PW305A powerplants, airframe refurbishment for passenger comfort, and resale valuation driven by serial/year attributes (here 60-195, year 2000) and documented registration history.
