N435DC

This entry covers airframe N435DC, a factory-built Learjet 45 completed in 2004 with serial number 45-249. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by GUARDIAN FLIGHT LLC, an LLC based in Lewisville, TX, US; the current ownership is recorded to that entity on the US registry. The jet was manufactured by Learjet Inc (Bombardier Aerospace) and, as a 2004-build Learjet 45, reflects the design and systems common to that production block. Registry details indicate continued US operation and custody under its listed owner.

The cabin of N435DC is fitted in a typical executive double-club layout with a flat-floor cabin and an enclosed lavatory, and the standard Learjet 45 executive fit accommodates between 8 and 12 seats depending on interior configuration. Avionics are provided by a Honeywell Primus 1000 EFIS suite, supporting the flightdeck instrumentation and navigation capabilities appropriate to its class. Operating from its owner’s base in Lewisville, TX, US, the aircraft’s performance—cruise of 464 kts and a ferry/mission range of 1,971 nm—positions it for mid‑range business and charter missions within the continental US and to nearby international points. Cabin arrangement and seating flexibility allow mixed corporate transport or charter use while preserving the Learjet 45’s emphasis on executive comfort.

The Learjet 45 family, as represented by N435DC (serial 45-249, 2004 build), occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche with transcontinental short-to-mid-range capability highlighted by a 51,000 ft ceiling and high cruise speed. Seats configurable to a maximum of 12 make it adaptable to corporate shuttle and on-demand charter roles; its twin Honeywell TFE731-20BR engines are characteristic powerplants for this model generation. As a 2004 airframe under LLC ownership, considerations for buyers and operators typically center on avionics configuration, interior refurbishment state, and engine/airframe maintenance history relative to market demand for early-2000s Learjet 45 examples.
