N2SM

The aircraft bearing tail number N2SM is a 1991-built Learjet 31A, serial 040, manufactured by Learjet Inc.. It is currently recorded as owned by MAGNUS CARO LLC, an LLC based in Alpine, WY, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s registry and ownership are notable for being held by a single corporate entity; its reported market valuation at the time of record is $598,648, which reflects the specific year, serial and configuration of this example.

This Learjet 31A is typically fitted in a six- to eight-place executive club layout with a forward belted lav seat and an aft divan, though final configuration can vary by installation; the cabin is listed as a typical 6–8 place executive arrangement. Avionics are reported in the common Learjet 31A fit, including a Honeywell/AlliedSignal EFIS (EFIS-50) and KFC-3100 autopilot, subject to airframe-specific upgrades. Typical mission profiles for this airframe are consistent with light business jet operations within its stated 1,631 nm range and cruise of 441 kts, operating from its owner’s base in Alpine, WY, US; maintenance considerations would follow Learjet 31A type practices and any modifications recorded on this serial.

The Learjet 31A occupies the light, high-performance business jet niche with high operating ceiling and relatively high cruise speeds for its category, exemplified here by a 51,000 ft ceiling and 441 kts cruise. Demand for aircraft like this tends to centre on owner/operators and charter customers seeking short- to medium-range point-to-point executive transport; resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will be influenced by its 1991 build year, serial 040 provenance, installed TFE731-series engines, avionics fit and documented valuation of $598,648.
