N31EA

This entry describes airframe N31EA, a Learjet 31A built in 1996 with serial number 31-130, manufactured by Learjet Inc. (now part of Bombardier Aerospace). The aircraft is recorded as registered in the US and is owned by Aery Aviation LLC, a corporate owner located in Wilmington, DE, US. Current registry and broker listings identify Aery Aviation LLC as the operator/home base interest for this airframe. The listing value is reported at $1,100,000, reflecting its market position as an older-model light business jet with executive interior features and aftermarket avionics.

The cabin of this specific Learjet 31A is configured in a seven-place executive layout with a forward four-place club, a single aft seat and a side-facing seat, and a forward galley/refreshment center reported. Avionics reported on a broker listing include a Bendix/King EFIS-50 (5-tube) installation and a King KFC-3100 autopilot, indicative of a mixed original/upgrade avionics fit typical of airframes of this vintage. With a cruise of 456 kts and a range of 1,251 nm, the airframe is suited to short-to-mid-range business missions and point-to-point regional operations from its operator base in Wilmington, DE. Maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on the Honeywell TFE731-2 turbofan series and airframe support common to the Learjet 31A fleet.

The Learjet 31A occupies a high-speed, high-altitude niche among light business jets, offering a ceiling of 51,000 ft and fast cruise performance for short- to mid-range missions. Competing models in this segment historically include other light jets with similar speed/range tradeoffs; buyer and charter demand tends to favor aircraft with upgraded avionics and well-documented maintenance. Given the reported value of $1,100,000, resale considerations for this airframe will depend on engine times, avionics logs, and interior condition; the presence of a five-tube EFIS and KFC-3100 autopilot may improve utility for prospective owners or operators.
