N740KD

This entry describes airframe N740KD, a 2007-built Bombardier Learjet 40XR, serial 45-2083, manufactured by Learjet Inc. The aircraft is owned by the corporate entity ELIJAH G6 LLC, based in Orlando, FL, US, and is registered in the United States. No public record of multiple prior owners or incident history is provided in the supplied data; the airframe is presented as a corporate-operated business jet. The airframe is valued at $2,600,000 per the supplied appraisal figure.

The cabin of N740KD is configured for twelve occupants with six passenger seats plus a belted lav seat; the interior layout features a forward four-seat club and two aft forward-facing seats, along with a refreshment center and storage cabinet. Avionics aboard this airframe are described as a Honeywell DU-870 EFIS four-tube installation with Dual Universal UNS-1Ew flight management systems and the Honeywell Primus/DU-870 suite as listed in the sales data, supporting modern navigation and situational awareness for typical business-jet operations. Based in Orlando, FL, the aircraft is suited to corporate point-to-point missions and owner/operator use over ranges up to its published 1,857 nm, with cruise speeds near 425 kts and operations to high-altitude flight levels up to 51,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would align with Honeywell TFE731 series engine support and avionics software/configuration management consistent with the DU-870/UNS-1Ew installations.

The Bombardier Learjet 40XR occupies the light-cabin, high-performance niche of small business jets, favoring speed and altitude capability over the larger cabin volume of midsize types. Typical competitors include late-model light jets with similar transcontinental capability and high cruise speeds; buyers often prioritize dispatch reliability, engine TBO status, and avionics fit when evaluating resale. Resale value and marketability for this airframe are influenced by its corporate registration (ELIJAH G6 LLC), the installed Honeywell avionics suite, and the TFE731-20BR-1B engines — all factors that affect maintenance cost, inspection history expectations, and operator demand in the pre-owned business-jet marketplace.
