Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N90VJ, is a 2002-built Learjet 31A with manufacturer serial number 237. The aircraft is owned by VENTURE JETS LLC (a corporation) based in Lititz, PA, US, and appears in U.S. civil registry under that ownership. Contemporary records list the airframe value at $1,750,000, reflecting its condition and market position as a light business jet of its vintage. Registered in the U.S. and operated from its owner’s base, the airframe’s registry data and valuation are key highlights for secondary-market and operational assessments.

The cabin in this airframe follows the typical industry practice for the model with a six-place executive layout, while FAA registration lists 10 seats; forward galley and belted lavatory options are common and compatible with this configuration. Avionics fits for this example are consistent with common installations: a Bendix/King EFIS (EFIS-50) coupled with dual KFC-3100 autopilots in many examples, though numerous Learjet 31As receive aftermarket avionics upgrades over their service life. Typical missions for this airframe include short-to-medium range executive transport, point-to-point charter, and high-altitude positioning, operating primarily from its owner/operator base in Lititz, PA, US. Maintenance considerations reflect the twin TFE731 turbofan heritage, with attention to engine shop intervals and avionics modernization when preparing the aircraft for continued charter or resale.

The Learjet 31A occupies a performance niche as a high-speed, high-altitude light business jet with a service ceiling of 51,000 ft and cruise around 441 kts, appealing to buyers seeking fast point-to-point capability and steep climb performance. Competing models typically include other light-cabin jets with similar speed and range; buyer and charter demand often hinge on the airframe’s avionics fit and engine program status. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on its 2002 build year, serial 237, the health and maintenance history of the two TFE731 engines, and the extent of avionics upgrades versus the common Bendix/King EFIS-50 and dual KFC-3100 autopilot baseline.
