N31HK

This article covers the specific Learjet 35 airframe bearing tail number N31HK, a Gates Learjet Corporation-built aircraft completed in 1975 with serial number 35-016. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by N31HK Inc, a corporation based in Miami, FL, US, which serves as the operator/home base for this registration. The aircraft’s public registry entry reflects its US registration and corporate ownership; registered to N31HK Inc in Miami, Florida, it remains identified by its unique serial and tail numbers for maintenance and regulatory tracking. No separate valuation or condition data are published in the provided dataset.

The airframe is configured in a typical executive cabin layout that accommodates 6–8 places and can carry up to 8 passengers, consistent with its seating specification of 8. Operated from Miami, FL under corporate ownership, its mission profile is that of short- to medium-range executive transport well matched to the aircraft’s maximum range of 2,196 nm and cruise speed of 436 kts, enabling non-stop regional and transcontinental legs within that envelope. Cabin amenities and avionics fit are not published in the provided data; operational references are therefore limited to passenger capacity, range, cruise, and the aircraft’s registered operator location.

The Learjet 35 family, produced by Gates Learjet Corporation, occupies a performance niche as a light business jet offering high cruise speed and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft for efficient point-to-point executive transport. With twin Honeywell TFE731-2 turbofan engines delivering 3,500 lbf each, the type competes in the light jet market against contemporaries offering similar range and cabin capacity. Buyer and charter demand, maintenance cycles, and resale considerations for this airframe are informed by its 1975 build date, serial 35-016, and corporate US registration, although specific market valuations are not provided in the supplied data.
