N55FJ

This entry covers airframe tail number N55FJ, a Learjet 55 built in 1983 with manufacturer serial 55-089. The airframe is owned by N55FJ LLC, a corporation based in El Cajon, CA, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s registry and ownership reflect a corporate operations profile and a reported market valuation of $666,000, with standard-condition notes implied by the documented equipment and interior configuration.

The cabin configuration for this specific Learjet 55 follows the typical executive layout furnished on many 55-series interiors, accommodating 6–8 passengers in executive seating while the type certificate allows up to 13 seats; an aft lavatory and small galley are standard on many 55-series interiors and are consistent with this airframe’s description. The airframe’s corporate ownership and US registration indicate use for business or charter missions based from El Cajon, CA, with mission profiles consistent with short- to mid-range executive transport given a 2,244 nm range and a high-altitude capability to 51,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect the twin TFE731 turbofan installation and the vintage 1983 build year, factors typically addressed in recurring inspections and component life-cycle management.

The Learjet 55 from Gates Learjet Corp occupies a light-to-midsize business jet performance niche characterized by high cruise speed (419 kts) and transcontinental range in its class. With twin TFE731 engines producing 3,500 lbf each, the type offers notable high-altitude performance to 51,000 ft and seating flexibility up to 13 positions under its type certificate. Market and resale considerations for this airframe are influenced by its 1983 manufacture date, cumulative maintenance requirements of older airframes and engines, and the recorded valuation of $666,000, which frames expectations for acquisition cost versus ongoing upkeep.
