N500CW

The airframe bearing tail number N500CW is a 1998-built Learjet 60 (serial 60-133) manufactured by Learjet Inc. It is registered in the United States and owned by N500CW LLC, an LLC based in Miami Beach, FL, US, which is listed as the operator/home base for this specific airframe. The registry indicates certification for up to 11 seats, and the aircraft’s configuration and ownership record have remained consistent with light executive use since delivery. No public record of major registry actions or transfers beyond the current LLC ownership is available in the provided data.

The cabin for this specific Learjet 60 is described as a typical executive layout; while a 6–8 passenger executive fit is common, the registry shows certification up to 11 seats for this airframe. Avionics are fitted in the style typical for the type with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 suite on the baseline Learjet 60; later model upgrades such as Pro Line 21 are associated with the 60XR family but are not specified for this tail in the provided data. Operated from Miami Beach, Florida under N500CW LLC, the aircraft’s performance (long-range cruise at 436 knots and a 2,400 nm range) suits transcontinental U.S. missions and short international hops from the East Coast, supporting executive transport and on-demand charter or corporate shuttle roles. Maintenance considerations align with twin-engine turbofan schedules for Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A engines and typical Learjet heavy inspections.

The Learjet 60 occupies a mid-size light business jet niche within the Learjet family, offering higher cruise speed and altitude capability (up to 51,000 ft) compared with earlier light jets while retaining compact cabin ergonomics. It competes with contemporary light-to-midsize business jets in buyer and charter demand for quick point-to-point executive missions, emphasizing speed and high-altitude performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect engine support for the PW305A, avionics generation (Pro Line 4 baseline versus Pro Line 21 upgrade availability), and the impact of interior configuration options—here, a certified capacity up to 11 seats—on charter viability and secondary-market pricing.
