N31KH

This entry covers airframe N31KH, a factory-built Learjet 31A completed in 1999 with serial number 31-173. The airframe is owned by Aery Aviation LLC, a corporate owner based in Wilmington, DE, US, and is registered in the United States as indicated by its registration record. The airframe's recorded valuation is $1,047,772, reflecting market and asset-condition considerations for late-1990s light business jets. Registry continuity under corporate ownership and U.S. registration are the most recent notable administrative points for this specific aircraft.

The cabin in this particular airframe is configured in an executive 6–8 place layout with forward club seating, provision for a possible aft divan, and an enclosed lavatory; small external and internal baggage accommodations total approximately 40 cu ft. Avionics aboard follow a typical Learjet 31A fit and may include Bendix/King EFIS-50 displays, a Dual KFC-3100 autopilot and a Universal UNS-1 FMS, though specific installations can vary by aircraft and upgrade history. Operated from a corporate base in Wilmington, Delaware, the aircraft’s performance envelope—high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft service ceiling—suits short- to mid-range executive transport, owner flights, and light charter missions that benefit from rapid climb and fast cruise. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with standard Learjet 31A practices, emphasizing engine, avionics and pressurization system checks commensurate with its age and utilization.

The Learjet 31A occupies the fixed-wing light jet niche, prized for high cruise speed and high-altitude capability relative to similar classes. Typical competitors include other late-model light business jets offering comparable speed and range; buyer and charter demand tends to favor aircraft with updated avionics and well-documented maintenance histories. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1999 airframe hinge on engine hours, avionics upgrades, and airframe corrosion/structural inspection status; the stated valuation reflects these lifecycle factors for late-1990s Learjet 31A examples.
