Model & Market Context

The airframe is registered as N31TK, a 1992-built Bombardier Learjet 31A with manufacturer serial number 31-059. The aircraft is recorded as owned by Private (Wal‑Mart Stores), a corporate owner, and is registered in the US; this ownership is the principal notable entry in its documented history. As a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet, the airframe combines the late-model Learjet pedigree with a broker-listed valuation reflecting its specific configuration and condition at $449,000. The listing status and valuation underscore a mature airframe with full avionics and an eight-passenger interior maintained to operator specifications.

The cabin of this Learjet 31A is configured in an eight-passenger center-club layout with a forward lavatory and three tables, specified as a forward club plus an aft divan arrangement. Avionics fit is a comprehensive Bendix/King suite including KFC-3100 autopilot and ED-551A EFIS, supplemented by a Universal UNS-1F GPS, Mark VIII EGPWS, and TCAS, with a full broker specification package documenting the complete systems fit. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would be short- to medium-range executive transport and light corporate shuttle tasks consistent with its 1,486 nm range and 450 kt cruise, operated from a U.S. home base under corporate ownership. Maintenance considerations follow typical Learjet 31A practices, with emphasis on engine TFE731 series care and avionics upkeep to preserve certified navigation and terrain awareness capabilities.

The Bombardier Learjet 31A occupies a performance niche as a light, high-speed business jet with a high service ceiling of 51,000 ft and strong cruise capability, appealing to operators needing fast point-to-point travel. Competing models in this segment include other light jets offering similar speed and range, while buyer and charter demand often centers on proven reliability and avionics completeness—advantages present in this airframe’s Bendix/King and Universal systems. Resale and maintenance considerations reflect the airframe’s age (1992 build) and serial 31-059, with market value influenced by interior configuration, avionics upgrades, and airframe/engine times; the broker-stated valuation is $449,000, which positions it within the established used-light-jet market for corporate-owned examples.
