Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N31GJ is a Gates Learjet 36A built in 1976, serial number 36-022. The jet is listed on U.S. civil registry to GLOBAL JETCARE INC, a corporation based in Brooksville, FL, US, which has served as the operator/home base in recent records. Registry entries note the aircraft can be configured for up to ten seats on paperwork, while current operator configurations and specific avionics fits are operator-determined. The airframe is valued at $450,000, reflecting its age, role capability, and documented configuration flexibility.
This specific Gates Learjet 36A is typically presented with a six-seat executive cabin layout or a medevac/stretcher-capable configuration as an operator-configured option, and registry notes indicate up to 10 seats on paperwork. The aircraft’s mission profile is consistent with short to medium-range executive transport, air ambulance duties, and single-pilot or two-pilot charter operations within the Lear 35/36 family envelope, leveraging its long-range capability of 2,708 nm and cruise at 436 kts. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow the TFE731-series engine maintenance cycles and legacy Learjet structural programs; specific avionics and refurbishments are operator-specific and not published in the registry summary. Based in Brooksville, FL, the operator’s maintenance access and flight patterns are likely regional to continental in scope.
The Gates Learjet 36A occupies a niche for light business jets that offer transcontinental range while maintaining high cruise speeds and a 45,000 ft service ceiling, powered by two TFE731-2-2B engines at 3,500 lbf each. In the used market it competes with other late-1970s light jets and early turbofan executive types where buyer demand balances mission capability against increasing maintenance and avionics upgrade needs. Resale and charter appeal hinge on configuration (executive versus medevac), documented seating up to 10, and the airframe’s maintenance status, all factors that inform the aircraft’s indicated value of $450,000.
