N696TS

The airframe bearing tail number N696TS is a 2002-built Learjet 60 manufactured by LEARJET INC, bearing serial number 250. This specific airframe is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, based in North Salt Lake, UT, US. The airframe’s administrative history is notable for being held in trust by a corporate owner rather than an individual operator, and it has been operated from the owner’s Utah home base for corporate and charter-type missions. Ownership recorded as corporate trustee suggests placement in commercial lease or remarketing inventories rather than owner-operated private use.

The airframe is configured to accommodate 11 seats, consistent with typical Learjet 60 executive or light charter layouts; specific cabin arrangement and finish for this serial are not published. Avionics fit and exact interior amenities for N696TS are not published, though the model commonly carries upgraded IFR-capable flight decks suitable for high-altitude, high-speed mission profiles. Typical missions for this airframe include medium-range corporate transport and ad hoc charter flights within its 2,451 nm range and cruise speed of 436 kts, operating from the owner’s Utah base to regional business centers and transcontinental routings. Maintenance considerations for this hull follow established Learjet 60 schedules, with twin PW305A engines requiring routine shop visits per manufacturer intervals.

The Learjet 60 occupies a performance niche as a midsize light business jet offering high cruise speeds and a 51,000 ft service ceiling, competing with models such as the mid-generation Cessna Citations and smaller Gulfstream/Gulfstream-contracted light jets. Demand among buyers and charter operators favors clean, well-maintained examples due to the model’s brisk cruise and runway performance; corporate trust ownership like TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE often indicates market activity tied to leasing, remarketing, or asset management. Resale and maintenance considerations center on engine lifecycle (Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A) and avionics modernization to remain competitive in charter and fractional markets.
