N546DD

This entry covers airframe N546DD, a 2001-built Learjet 45 with manufacturer designation Learjet Inc (Bombardier Aerospace) and serial number 45-150. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is listed in the FAA registry under owner FLY-ME-A-WAY-WAY LLC, an LLC based in Spicewood, TX, US. The airframe is a typical early-2000s Learjet 45 example and is valued at approximately $3,000,000, with its registry and ownership record indicating private operation from its Texas home base.

This specific Learjet 45 typically features a flat-floor executive cabin described as an 8-place double-club layout occupying roughly 410 cu ft, although FAA records for this registration also show configurations with up to 12 seats. The airframe commonly carries Honeywell Primus 1000 avionics installations, which are noted as a typical fit for the model and support the aircraft’s IFR and business-aviation roles. Operationally, the aircraft’s nearly 2,000 nm range and high cruise speed make it suited to regional and transcontinental point-to-point executive transport missions operated out of its Spicewood, Texas base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with mid-life Learjet 45 practices, with attention to the twin TFE731 powerplants and avionics commonality affecting dispatch reliability and support logistics.

The Learjet 45 family occupies a light corporate jet niche emphasizing high cruise speeds and high-altitude capability, exemplified by this airframe’s 436 kts cruise and 51,000 ft ceiling. In the market, the model competes with other light-cabin twinjets where buyers seek cabin comfort around 400 cu ft, lower operating times, and cost-conscious acquisition prices such as the $3,000,000 valuation shown here. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe focus on engine life, avionics standardization (e.g., Honeywell Primus 1000), and documented seating/cabin configurations, which can influence charter utility and private-ownership desirability.
