N447LA

This article describes the specific Learjet 60XR airframe bearing tail number N447LA, manufactured by Learjet Inc. and delivered in 2008 as serial 60-329. The airframe is recorded in corporate ownership under CRAIG AIR LLC, and it remains registered in the United States as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet. No other changes of registry or notable incident record are cited in the available data; the airframe is valued at $3,600,000, indicating a mid-life business-jet asset with typical market depreciation for its model year and configuration.

The airframe is fitted with a stand-up cabin measuring approximately 17.7 ft, with a typical layout offering 6–8 executive seats, a forward galley and an enclosed aft lavatory, making it suitable for corporate transport and executive charter missions. Typical avionics in the Learjet 60XR family—here noted as the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 fit—support long-range IFR operations, advanced flight management and situational awareness for single-pilot or two-pilot crews in high-altitude cruise. With a maximum cruise in the mid-400-knot range and a service ceiling of 51,000 ft, this specific airframe is suited for transcontinental U.S. hops and point-to-point international routes within its declared 2,451 nm range. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow the Learjet 60XR baseline, with twin PW305A engines requiring factory-recommended shop visits and typical inspection cycles for a 2008-built corporate jet.

The Learjet 60XR family occupies the light to midsize corporate jet niche, offering high-speed cruise and high-altitude capability in a compact airframe. Competing models in the market niche generally include similarly sized midsize business jets that balance speed, range and cabin amenities. Buyer and charter demand for a 2008-model airframe like N447LA tends to reflect price sensitivity to engine life, avionics capability and interior condition; the listed valuation of $3,600,000 positions this aircraft competitively for operators seeking high cruise performance with moderate acquisition cost. Resale and residual value considerations center on the condition of the PW305A engines, the state of the Pro Line 21 avionics suite and the completeness of maintenance records for serial 60-329.
