N816FG

This airframe, N816FG, is a Learjet 45 built in 2016 with manufacturer serial number 550. The aircraft is recorded as owned by N816FG LLC, an LLC based in Urbana, IL, US, and operates on a United States registration. Maintenance and registry entries reflect a corporate ownership structure; the FAA record lists 12 seats, indicating alternate or certified seating beyond typical executive layouts. No other prior ownership transfers or notable registry actions are recorded in the provided data.

The cabin for this Learjet 45 airframe is typically configured as an 8–9 place executive double-club layout, but this specific aircraft’s FAA entry lists 12 seats, reflecting alternate or certified seating capability for higher passenger density. Avionics fit is the Honeywell Primus 1000 as is typical for the Learjet 45 series, supporting business and light charter operations with standard flight management and navigation suites. With a long-range capability near 1,971 nm and a cruise around 425 kts, this airframe suits point-to-point corporate missions, short transcontinental hops, or shuttle-style operations from its Urbana, Illinois base. Operational considerations include managing twin Honeywell TFE731 turbofan maintenance cycles and ensuring interior configuration aligns with FAA-certified seating and operator mission profiles.

The Learjet 45 occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering high cruise speeds and a 51,000 ft service ceiling that provide performance above many light jets while retaining the operational flexibility of smaller platforms. Typical competitors include light-medium jets with similar speed-range tradeoffs; buyer and charter demand favors aircraft that combine rapid climb and cruise with a compact cabin. For this specific serial and build year, maintenance and resale considerations center on engine program status for the Honeywell TFE731-40BR-1 pair, avionics commonality with the Honeywell Primus 1000, and interior certification that permits the FAA-listed 12 seat arrangement versus a traditional 8–9 executive finish.
