N451N

This entry describes airframe N451N, a Bombardier Learjet 45 built in 2003 with serial number 45-230. The jet is recorded on the U.S. registry (US) and is owned by N146XL LLC, a limited liability company based in Bluffton, SC, US. Valuation records list the airframe at $3,100,000, reflecting its configuration and typical market condition for the type. No other registry actions or operator transfers are published in the supplied data.

The cabin of N451N is fitted in an executive layout with 8-place executive club seating, a forward galley and an aft lavatory; the airframe corresponds to the Learjet 45's typical flat-floor cabin dimensions (approximately 410 cu ft typical). The installed avionics are a typical fit of Honeywell Primus 1000 with a four-tube EFIS/EICAS presentation, supporting the flight crew for high-altitude, high-speed regional operations. Given the aircraft's published 1,700 nm range and 445 kt cruise, missions for this specific airframe are consistent with regional business travel and point-to-point corporate flights from its owner base in Bluffton, SC, US. Maintenance planning for this airframe centers on the twin Honeywell TFE731-20 turbofans and the legacy Primus 1000 suite, which are factors in operational availability and avionics upgrade considerations.

As a member of the Learjet 45 family, N451N occupies the light business jet niche characterized by high cruise speeds and a 51,000 ft service ceiling, enabling efficient regional connectivity. The configuration and systems fitted to this airframe (TFE731-20 engines and Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics) position it competitively against other light-to-midsize business jets in demand for owner/operators and charter operators seeking fast point-to-point capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its age (built 2003), installed legacy avionics, and engine model when assessing lifecycle costs and potential avionics modernization or refurbishment to sustain market value near $3,100,000.
