Model & Market Context
This entry covers airframe N83FN, a Gates-built business jet registered in the US and carrying serial number 36-007. The airframe is owned as Private (L-3 Communications), recorded in the current registry as Private (L-3 Communications); further details on operational operator or home base are not published. No public registry actions, sale dates, or valuation/condition reports are published for this specific tail number. The record for this aircraft is limited to manufacturer, model, ownership name and technical baseline as documented.
The airframe features a typical four- to six-passenger executive layout described as a small cabin with forward entry and a limited baggage compartment; configuration is noted for tight passenger capacity and constrained luggage volume. Specific avionics fit or interior refurbishment status is not published for this registration. Given the aircraft’s published cruise speed and range, mission profiles for this airframe would commonly include medium‑range executive point‑to‑point flights within the continental United States and cross‑border hops consistent with its seating and baggage constraints. Operator base and charter availability are not published; maintenance considerations specific to this airframe are limited to the small-cabin configuration and restricted baggage volume as recorded.
This airframe is a member of the Gates Learjet family as a Gates Learjet 36, representing a light, twin‑engine fixed‑wing multi‑engine business jet platform. Within that performance envelope the aircraft’s combination of a high 45,000 ft ceiling, 436 kts cruise and 2,289 nm range positions it for operators seeking higher‑altitude fast transits for a small passenger complement. Buyer and charter demand, as well as resale and maintenance planning for this specific serial, must account for the six‑seat small‑cabin layout and the limited baggage compartment when assessing mission suitability and market appeal.
