N474KA

This entry documents airframe N474KA, a 1978-built Learjet 35A with manufacturer serial number 174. The airframe is owned by ICE9 LEAR35 LLC, an LLC based in Boulder, CO, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe's configuration and registry record indicate it operates as a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet and carries an estimated market value of $960,000. No additional prior owners or notable registry transactions are published for this specific tail in the supplied data.

The airframe, a Learjet 35A, is typically outfitted for a ten-seat executive configuration and on this specific unit the cabin capacity is listed as 10 seats. Typical mission profiles for a Learjet 35A of this specification would include short- to medium-haul business travel within its 1,930 nm range and high-speed cruise at approximately 436 kts, often serving point-to-point charters or corporate repositioning flights. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft center on its twin TFE731-2-2B turbine engines and aging airframe systems given the 1978 build year; operator-level maintenance is expected to follow the Learjet maintenance schedules for airworthiness. The owner, ICE9 LEAR35 LLC, is recorded as domiciled in Boulder, Colorado, from which the aircraft may be based or managed.

The Learjet 35A occupies a long-standing niche as a light business jet offering high cruise speeds, transcontinental capability in favorable conditions, and a high-altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competing types in its era and market niche include other light-to-midsize business jets that trade cabin volume for speed and runway performance. Given its 1978 manufacture date and a reported value of $960,000, resale and buyer demand are influenced by avionics updates, engine time, and completed refurbishments; these factors typically drive marketability and operating costs for this model. Maintenance and part-commonality with the TFE731 engine family are significant resale considerations for prospective buyers.
