N895DM

This entry documents the specific Bombardier-built Learjet airframe registered as N895DM, a Model Bombardier Learjet 31A-ER constructed in 2000 with manufacturer serial number 31A-0199. The airframe is recorded in U.S. civil registers and is owned by DUMBO LLC, an Alabama limited liability company based in Tuscaloosa, AL, US; no prior ownership history is published here. The aircraft is equipped and maintained to an executive standard and carries an estimated market value of $986,000, reflecting its age, configuration and continued operational capability. Registration and operator records show a single listed corporate owner and U.S. registration actions associated with that ownership.

The airframe is outfitted in an 8-place executive layout that includes a forward galley, a forward enclosed lavatory and a belted side-facing lavatory seat, complemented by a typical executive divan and club seating arrangement to accommodate up to 10 occupant positions including cockpit. Avionics fitted to this installation consist of a Bendix/King 5-tube EFIS, Bendix KFC-3100 autopilot, UNS-1C FMS, RDR-2000 weather radar and EGPWS, supporting precision navigation, situational awareness and single-crew enhanced operations where allowed. Typical missions for this long-legged light business jet emphasize short to medium transcontinental hops within its 1,631 nm range and high-speed cruise efficiency at 441 kts, operated from the owner’s Tuscaloosa base for corporate transport, owner-flown operations or ad hoc charter under the proprietor’s control. Maintenance considerations align with TFE731 series engine support and avionics-system upkeep consistent with executive outfitting.

The Learjet 31A-ER occupies a high-performance light business-jet niche, offering fast cruise and a 51,000 ft ceiling that favors time-sensitive corporate missions. Competing models in the era include other light jets with similar speed and range profiles; buyer interest typically focuses on airframe condition, engine hours, and avionics fit such as the installed EFIS and FMS. Resale and maintenance outlooks for a 2000-built 31A-ER hinge on continued Honeywell TFE731 support, avionics modernization potential and the aircraft’s executive cabin condition as reflected in its quoted $986,000 valuation.
