N805PC

This airframe, registered as N805PC, is a Learjet 55 built in 1981 with manufacturer serial number 55-018 by Gates Learjet Corporation. The certificate and registration record list the owner as registered to ROYAL AIR FREIGHT INC of Waterford, MI, US, indicating corporate operation from that Michigan base. The jet is a United States-registered, fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft that remains valued in records at $900,000. No public record of subsequent owners or notable incidents is contained in the provided data.

The cabin of this specific Learjet 55 is documented with a capacity of 13 seats, consistent with mixed corporate or high-density executive configurations appropriate to its role. Detailed avionics fit, interior finish level, and freight conversions are not published in the supplied data; therefore equipment and exact cabin layout beyond seat count are unlisted. Operating from its listed base in Waterford, MI, US, the airframe’s 2,244 nm range and 420-knot cruise speed make it suitable for medium-haul business or charter missions across the continental United States and nearby international destinations. Maintenance considerations are congruent with continued operation of a 1981-built, twin-engine turbine business jet, with ongoing owner responsibility for TFE731-series engine inspections and airframe aging checks.

The Learjet 55 occupies a mid-size business-jet niche characterized by relatively high cruise speed and a 51,000 ft service ceiling, competing historically with contemporaries in the light-to-midsize category. With twin Honeywell TFE731-3A-2B powerplants producing 3,700 lbf each, the model balances range and speed for corporate point-to-point missions. Buyer and charter demand for early-1980s airframes is driven by acquisition price and upgrade/maintenance status; the listed valuation of $900,000 for this airframe reflects age, installed equipment, and market factors affecting resale and continued operation.
