N358JA

The airframe bearing registration N358JA is a 2008-build Bombardier Learjet 60XR with manufacturer serial 60-358, constructed by Learjet Inc. This specific aircraft is recorded as owned by EAST SHORE AVIATION LLC of Fort Lauderdale, FL, US, and is registered in the United States. Registry and valuation records list the airframe with an estimated market value of $3,800,000, reflecting its late-2000s build and configuration for light-medium executive charter work. Maintenance and operational entries for this tail indicate typical corporate/charter utilization based out of its listed owner/operator location rather than as a line-registered airline asset.

The cabin of N358JA is arranged in a six-place executive layout with a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory, a configuration typical for charter operations that balances passenger comfort with short turnaround serviceability. Avionics are fitted with Collins Pro Line 21 (Proline 21), providing integrated flight management, avionics situational awareness and communications suitable for high-altitude, high-speed business missions. Typical mission profiles for this airframe center on domestic and regional charters within the continental U.S. and nearby international points, exploiting its roughly 2,451 nm range and cruise speed near 453 kts to serve point-to-point business traffic. Based at the owner’s Fort Lauderdale location, the aircraft’s operational considerations include typical Learjet 60XR maintenance cycles and PW305A engine support requirements.

The Bombardier Learjet 60XR occupies the light-medium business jet niche, prized for high-speed cruise and a 51,000 ft service ceiling that facilitates efficient transcontinental routing. Competing models in mission and capability include late-series light-to-medium-cabin jets offering similar speed-range tradeoffs; buyer and charter demand tends to favor variants with Pro Line avionics and well-documented maintenance history. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect engine support for the PW305A and market appetite for 2008 vintage Learjet 60XR examples, where valuation near $3.8M is consistent with charter-configured, six-seat interiors.
