N770X

This entry covers business jet N770X, a 2008-built Learjet 60XR with manufacturer serial 60-336. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by MDS AVIATION LLC, a corporate operator based in Kittanning, PA, US. The aircraft carries a common late-model configuration and avionics complement for the type, and its estimated market valuation is listed at $2,850,000. Registry notes include standard certification options allowing an 11-place configuration while commonly operated in executive layouts.

The cabin is typically fitted in executive 7–8 passenger layouts with a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory, although the airframe may be maintained on registry for an 11-place certification. Avionics are centered on a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, with reported upgrades on this airframe including dual GPS-4000S WAAS/LPV receivers and a DBU-5010E flight management/upgrade unit. Typical missions for this airframe include short- to mid-range business trips within the continental U.S., leveraging the jet’s cruise speed and range for rapid point-to-point charters or corporate travel based from Kittanning, PA. Maintenance considerations align with medium-light business jet practice for twin-engine turbofan types and reflect the value-impact of avionics and interior certification choices.

The Learjet 60XR occupies a mid-size light-to-midsize business jet niche with high cruise speed and transcontinental range relative to older light jets. Competing models typically include other mid-performance light-cabins from legacy manufacturers; buyer and charter demand focuses on speed, runway performance, and cabin efficiency. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial emphasize engine program status, avionics upgrades such as WAAS/LPV capability, and interior certification (7–8 executive versus 11-place) which materially affect marketability and valuation.
