N716FG

This entry describes airframe N716FG, a 2016-built Learjet 45 with serial number 45-549. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by N716FG LLC, an LLC based in Urbana, IL, US, which serves as the operator/home base for the aircraft. The registry lists the airframe with an up-to-12-seat configuration, although the installed cabin reflects an executive layout; the aircraft is appraised at $3,400,000, a valuation that highlights its remaining utility in the light business jet market.

The specific cabin of N716FG is a typical Learjet 45 executive arrangement: an eight-place double-club configuration is installed for executive transport, while registry records show capacity for up to 12 seats, indicating flexibility for denser seating or ferry configurations. Avionics aboard this airframe conform to the common fitment for the series, with a Honeywell Primus 1000 suite providing navigation, communication and flight management functionality. Typical missions for this airframe profile include short-to-medium range executive transport and on-demand charter flights within its 1,642 nm range and at a cruise of 425 kts, operating from the owner’s base in Urbana, IL, US. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with the Learjet 45 lineage, including attention to the two Honeywell TFE731-40BR-1 engines and avionics upkeep.

The Learjet 45 family occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, optimized for relatively high cruise speeds and altitudes—this airframe’s 51,000 ft ceiling and 425 kts cruise exemplify that performance profile. Competing models typically include other light-cabin jets offering similar speed/range trade-offs; demand centers on corporate owners and charter operators who value speed and runway performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial include continued support for the TFE731 engine line and avionics commonality with the Primus 1000, factors that influence operating cost and marketability at the listed $3,400,000 valuation.
