N278TT

The airframe bearing tail number N278TT is a 1995-built Learjet 31A, serial number 104, manufactured by Learjet Inc. (now part of Bombardier). It is registered in the United States and owned by CK FAMILY INVESTMENTS LLC, an LLC based in Yakima, WA, US, which appears as the current operator/home base for the aircraft. The airframe’s records reflect a mid-1990s Learjet 31A in typical corporate executive configuration; no additional public registry actions or transfers are noted in the provided data. Condition and valuation details beyond configuration and equipment are not published in the supplied dataset.

This specific Learjet 31A is outfitted in an executive cabin described as a forward double-club, dual aft single seats, and a belted lavatory, supporting an approximate 10-passenger executive layout appropriate for short- to medium-range business missions. Avionics fit includes Collins radios with DME/communications and a Universal UNS-1M FMS, and the airframe is reported to carry Gogo Avance L3+ Wi‑Fi for passenger connectivity. Typical operations for the airframe, given its 1,290 nm range and 441 kt cruise, would include regional corporate hops and small-group charter tasks from its Yakima, Washington base, with capability to operate at altitudes up to 51,000 ft for fast, high-altitude routings. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would follow Learjet 31A fleet practices and Honeywell TFE731 engine programs; specific maintenance status is not published in the supplied information.

The Learjet 31A occupies a light, high-performance business-jet niche with very favorable speed and altitude performance relative to other light jets, exemplified here by 441 kt cruise and a 51,000 ft ceiling. Competitors to the Learjet 31A in this segment typically include light jets valued for speed and climb performance; buyer and charter demand historically favors aircraft with proven avionics and in-cabin connectivity such as the reported Gogo Avance L3+. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial involve typical age-related inspection cycles and engine program status for the twin Honeywell TFE731 engines; specific market valuation for this airframe is not published in the provided data.
