The Learjet 36A airframe typically supports a compact corporate cabin arranged for up to 10 seats, consistent with this model’s short to medium-range mission profile. Operated from Cartersville, GA, US by PHOENIX AIR GROUP INC, this specific airplane would commonly be employed on regional business or charter sectors within the aircraft’s 2,418 nm range and high-speed cruise of 415 kts. Avionics fit and interior specifics for this serial are not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations for the airframe focus on sustainment of the twin Honeywell TFE731-2-2B engines and airframe systems to maintain its 45,000 ft service ceiling and operational readiness. Cabin layout and accessory options are generally compact, prioritizing speed and climb performance over large cabin volume.

The Learjet 36A from Gates Learjet Corp. occupies a performance niche as a light-cabin, longer-range business jet, notable for its high cruise speed and 45,000 ft ceiling relative to contemporaries. Competing models in the era and secondary market typically include light jets optimized for short, high-speed trips; resale values such as the reported $176,000 reflect market depreciation and the specialized maintenance demands of older high-performance turbofan twins. For buyers and charter operators, considerations include engine lifecycle on Honeywell TFE731-2-2B powerplants, airframe hours, and the logistics of operating a US-registered Learjet 36A originally built in 1981.
