N253SC

This article describes the specific airframe N253SC, a Learjet 45 built in 2004 with manufacturer serial number 252. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by POWDERHORN AVIATION LLC (an LLC based in Bethany, OK, US), which appears as the current operator/home base in registry records. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published for this airframe in the supplied data. Condition and valuation data list an estimated market valuation of $3,434,434, indicating an assessed economic position for sale, insurance, or accounting purposes rather than a maintenance status report.

The cabin of N253SC conforms to a typical double-club executive layout, commonly accommodating eight passengers in practice despite a certified seating capacity of 12, and includes a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory. The airframe is fitted with the Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics suite, a common fit for the Model 45/45XR, supporting the avionics and navigation needs for both domestic charter and owner-operator business missions. Typical mission profiles for this specific Learjet 45 would include medium-range point-to-point corporate flights within its 1,685 nm capability and high-speed cruise at about 425 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Bethany, OK, US; maintenance considerations reflect standard twin TFE731 powerplant support and component tracking consistent with a 2004-built business jet.

The aircraft belongs to the Learjet 45 family produced by Learjet Inc., a compact medium-range light business jet niche characterized by high cruise speeds and a 51,000 ft service ceiling. Competing models occupy similar markets, including light-to-midsize business jets from other manufacturers offering comparable range and cabin layouts. Buyer and charter demand for a 2004 Learjet 45 such as N253SC is shaped by operational costs, TFE731 engine supportability, avionics standardization with Honeywell Primus 1000, and the airframe’s documented valuation of $3,434,434, all of which influence maintenance planning and resale considerations.
