Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N63WG, is a Learjet 45 with manufacturer serial number 486. The airframe is operated by and registered to GOLD KEY AVIATION LLC, based in Chesapeake, VA, US, which appears in the public registry as the current owner and operator. The aircraft carries a United States registration and the registry entry specifically lists 12 seats for this airframe. Valuation and condition details are Not published; there are no additional public notations of major incidents or notable registry actions recorded in the provided data.
The cabin on this individual airframe is a flat-floor executive layout, typically configured for 8–12 passengers, with the registry specifically listing 12 seats for this example; this supports both small-group corporate transport and higher-density executive shuttle roles. Avionics fit for the model family is the Honeywell Primus/Primus 1000 series, a common fit that supports IFR corporate operations and fleet-standardized training and maintenance. With a long-range of 1,700 nm and a cruise of 445 kts, the aircraft is typically employed on regional and trans-regional missions, including coast-to-coast point-to-point charters, corporate travel, and rapid multi-leg schedules out of its Chesapeake, VA operator base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the Learjet 45 family practice—monitoring TFE731 series engine cycles and avionics updates—while flat-floor cabin systems reflect typical executive interior servicing requirements.
The Learjet 45 family occupies a light-medium business jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and a 51,000 ft ceiling for fast, efficient point-to-point travel. Competing models in the segment include other light-to-medium twins that trade cabin volume, range, and operating costs; the Learjet’s speed and climb capability remain distinguishing performance attributes. Buyer and charter demand centers on operators valuing rapid cruise and field performance, while resale and maintenance considerations typically focus on engine TBO, avionics condition—here the Honeywell Primus/Primus 1000 series—and the interior configuration tied to the listed 12-seat registry entry.
