Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N54PA, is a 1974-build Learjet 36 with manufacturer's serial number 004. The airframe was produced by Gates Learjet and currently shows ownership by VPC PLANES LLC, a limited liability company based in Wilmington, DE, US. The aircraft carries a United States registration and the available record emphasizes the single corporate owner and home-base location rather than an extended operator lineage. Condition and valuation details are not published in the supplied data.

The cabin for this specific airframe is described in the typical executive configuration as a six-passenger layout, while retaining adaptability for long-range or air-ambulance roles, reflecting a flexible interior intended for corporate or special-mission use. Avionics fit and specific equipment lists for N54PA are not published in the provided data, so mission-specific avionics capabilities cannot be confirmed here. Typical mission profiles for this configuration include short-to-medium international corporate hops enabled by a 2,348 nm ferry range and high-speed cruise of 418 kts, operating from its U.S. registry and corporate ownership base in Wilmington, DE. Maintenance considerations for this individual aircraft would follow Learjet 36 fleet practices and the Honeywell TFE731 series engine maintenance cycles but specific maintenance status is not published.

The Learjet 36 occupies a light business jet niche characterized by transcontinental range for its size and high cruise speeds, with a service ceiling of 45,000 ft benefiting mission flexibility. Competing models in the same era and market segment include other light-cabin jets offering similar speed and payload trade-offs; buyer and charter demand historically favors well-maintained examples with modern avionics updates. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1974 airframe with serial 004 will hinge on engine hours, logs, and any interior or avionics refurbishment—details not published in the supplied data.
