Model & Market Context
N56LE is a 2004 Learjet 45 (MSN 45-2021) currently registered to 56LE LLC of Dover, DE. The FAA/registry-derived certificate issue for the current registration is 2024-05-20 and the aircraft airworthiness date is 2004-12-13. The airframe is a mid-size business jet powered by two Honeywell TFE731 turbofan engines, configured with 12 seats on the current registration record and a weight class listed as over 20,000 lbs.
This airframe uses Honeywell Primus-style avionics (factory 4-screen EFIS/Primus 1000 family is typical for the type) and a typical executive cabin layout (flat floor, cabin volume ~410 cu ft, 8–12 seats depending on interior). The Learjet 45 family is routinely used for corporate transport, on-demand charter and transcontinental short-haul missions; the type cruises in the mid-400 ktas range and is certified to FL510.
The Learjet 45 family (ICAO type LJ45) was introduced as a purpose-designed midsize business jet with Honeywell TFE731-20 series powerplants and a four-screen integrated avionics suite. The 45/45XR competes in the light–midsize market offering ~1,600–1,900 nm practical range (ferry/freight vs. seats-full profiles vary) and fast cruise capability up to about Mach 0.80; typical market values for early-2000s airframes are in the low single-digit millions USD (varies by maintenance status, avionics and engine program enrollment). N56LE has public photo sightings (spotting records) and was referenced in a 2021 news report related to an inspection in Costa Rica.
