N76CD

The airframe bearing tail number N76CD is a 1994-built Learjet 31A, serial 31-093, manufactured by Learjet Inc (Bombardier Aerospace). The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporate operator BankAir Inc, based in West Columbia, South Carolina; current ownership is held by this corporation and the aircraft operates from that home base. Registry status is US-based and the airframe has standard corporate registry markings consistent with its ownership. Valuation and condition highlights: Not published.

The operator lists a seven-passenger executive interior featuring leather seating with a forward galley/snack cabinet and aft baggage storage, configured for short-to-medium range corporate missions. Avionics fit on this airframe includes EFIS-50 displays with a KFC-3100 autopilot listed among typical equipment and common upgrades on many 31A airframes, supporting single-pilot or two-pilot operations depending on operator procedures. Typical mission profiles for this specific aircraft, operated from West Columbia, SC, would include business charters, owner-flown corporate hops and regional positioning flights within the aircraft’s 1,290 nm range; maintenance considerations follow the Learjet 31A type commonality for the Honeywell TFE731 series engines and EFIS/autopilot avionics.

The Learjet 31A occupies a light jet performance niche characterized by high cruise speed and a very high service ceiling, noted here at 441 kts cruise and 51,000 ft ceiling, making it suitable for time-sensitive executive missions and access to performance-limited routes. Competing models in the segment historically include other light cabin jets offering similar short-field performance and speed; buyer and charter demand often centers on speed, runway performance and operating economics. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe reflect the age (built 1994) and common support requirements for the TFE731-2 engine family and avionics suites such as EFIS-50/KFC-3100 upgrades.
