N81GJ

This entry documents the specific Learjet airframe bearing U.S. registration N81GJ, a Learjet 36A manufactured in 1981 with serial number 36-047. The airframe is owned by GLOBAL JETCARE INC (a corporation) of Brooksville, FL, US, which is recorded as the registered owner and operator/home base for the type. The airframe has been operated in typical corporate and ferry roles, with registry continuity under U.S. registration and corporate ownership and no other ownership transfers published in the provided data. Condition and valuation specifics are not published here; maintenance and retrofit history is reflected primarily in avionics variability and reported upgrades on some airframes.

The airframe is typically outfitted in a compact executive interior, reflecting a Compact club/4–6 passenger executive layout (typical); ferry/10-seat max configuration documented. This configuration supports short to mid-range corporate missions and ferry flights across the continental United States and to nearby international points within the 2,857 nm range. Avionics fit varies by retrofit, with many Learjet 36A airframes retaining legacy Collins/Pro-Line-era avionics, while upgrades have been reported on some airframes, affecting instrumentation, navigation capability and maintenance profiles. Operated from Brooksville, Florida by a corporate owner, the aircraft’s small cabin and high cruise speed of 418 kts emphasize point-to-point executive transport rather than high-density charter, and maintenance considerations often center on engine life-cycles for the Garrett TFE731 series and avionics modernization.

The Learjet 36A occupies a long-range light business jet niche, pairing compact cabin ergonomics with relatively high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft ceiling for efficient overflight. Competing models offer similar speed/range trade-offs; demand typically comes from corporate buyers and specialized ferry or cargo conversions that value the combination of range and speed. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on Garrett TFE731 engine condition, avionics retrofit status (legacy versus upgraded systems), and airframe hours tied to its 1981 build year and serial 36-047.
