Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N68VP, is a 2001-built Learjet 31A with serial number 31-232. The aircraft is owned by AIR RODRIQUEZ LLC, an LLC based in San Antonio, TX, US, and it carries a United States registration. As a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet manufactured by Learjet (Bombardier Aerospace), the airframe presents typical age-related considerations for aircraft of its vintage and is appraised at $986,000. Its documented configuration and avionics suite reflect the 31A cockpit standard for operator missions and charter or owner-operated executive transport.

The aircraft is fitted in an executive cabin layout, typically accommodating 6–10 passenger seats in an operator-configurable arrangement and commonly set up in a club/divan configuration. Avionics for this specific airframe follow the 31A cockpit configuration with a BendixKing EFIS-50 system paired with dual KFC 3100 autopilots, supporting precision flight decks and crew workload reduction on long cross-country missions. Typical operations for this platform include short- to medium-range executive transport and on-demand charter sectors that leverage the aircraft's high cruise speed and transcontinental capability within its 1,631 nm range. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine program status and avionics upgrades appropriate to a 2001-built Learjet 31A.

The Learjet 31A occupies a performance niche as a light, high-speed business jet with a high service ceiling and relatively compact cabin, appealing to buyers seeking fast point-to-point travel. Competing models occupy similar market segments, and demand is driven by operators valuing speed and climb performance over larger cabin volume. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe include age-related inspection compliance, engine life remaining on the Honeywell TFE731-2-3B pair, and the impact of the installed BendixKing EFIS-50/KFC 3100 suite on marketability.
