N840SW

The airframe bearing tail number N840SW is a 1994-built Learjet 31A, serial number 31-084, manufactured by Learjet Inc. It is registered in the United States and is owned by N840SW LLC, an LLC based in Vero Beach, Florida. The airframe’s listing emphasizes a legacy avionics fit and a specific cabin floorplan, with the main seating described as eight passenger positions and a belted lavatory. Registry details reflect private LLC ownership and a home-base operator posture centered in Vero Beach, FL.

The installed cabin corresponds to Floorplan A-1, featuring an aft three-place divan, four-place club seating, and a belted lavatory, with the listing describing eight main passenger seats in service configuration; total certificated seating is 10. Avionics are a legacy package comprising AlliedSignal / EFIS-50 displays combined with BendixKing 3100 components, a mixed-fit suite that may require incremental upgrades to meet contemporary airspace and avionics mandates. Typical missions for this airframe include short to medium-range corporate and charter flights within the continental U.S., leveraging a cruise of 441 kts and a range of 1,631 nm, while operations to higher-altitude airspace take advantage of a 51,000 ft ceiling. Maintenance considerations on this specific airframe center on TFE731 engine support and potential avionics modernization due to the legacy BendixKing/AlliedSignal components.

The Learjet 31A family occupies a high-speed, light-cabin niche, prized for high cruise speeds and high-altitude capability. Competing models include other light business jets that offer similar cruise and range figures but may feature more modern avionics or larger cabins. For buyers or charter operators considering N840SW, engine pedigree (Garrett/Honeywell TFE731) supports established support networks, while the legacy avionics suite and the specific Floorplan A-1 cabin layout will factor into resale and upgrade cost considerations.
