The cabin on this specific Learjet 31A is laid out in a typical executive configuration offering 6–8 executive seats (club seating) with forward belted lavatory and divan options, supporting executive transport and light charter missions. Avionics fit for this airframe is a typical AlliedSignal EFIS installation for the Learjet 31A, providing a glass flight deck common to late-production examples. With a cruise speed of 441 kts and a range of 1,290 nm, the aircraft suits short-to-medium international or domestic point-to-point business trips originating from its San Antonio, TX base. Maintenance considerations for this specific ship include standard support for AIRESEARCH TFE731 powerplants and airframe inspections consistent with a 1995-build light jet of its class.

The Learjet 31A family occupies the high-performance light jet niche, prized for high cruise speed and a long service ceiling (51,000 ft) relative to cabin size. With a compact cabin and ten-place certificated capacity, its primary demand comes from owner-operators and small charter operators seeking speed and climb performance rather than large-cabin comfort. At a recorded value of $1,000,000 for this 1995 airframe, resale and acquisition considerations typically emphasize engine life, avionics upgrades such as EFIS currency, and corrosion/airframe hours during valuation and maintenance planning.
