N929JH

This entry concerns the specific Learjet 31A airframe bearing U.S. registration N929JH, serial number 31-132, built in 1997 by LEARJET INC. The aircraft is currently owned by BUNCH OF BIRDIES LLC, an LLC based in Saint Petersburg, FL, US, and is listed on the FAA registry with certificated seating for ten. No other operator history is published in the supplied data; the provided market valuation for this airframe is $862,780, a figure that highlights its position as an older light business jet with remaining utility but notable age-related considerations for maintenance and avionics retrofit. The registry status and owner location indicate the aircraft is U.S.-registered and likely operated from the Gulf Coast/Florida region.

The cabin configuration for this Learjet 31A is a typical executive layout accommodating six to eight passengers in a forward galley/club seating arrangement with an enclosed aft lavatory in many examples, while the FAA registry shows 10 certificated seats for this specific airframe. Avionics equipment varies by airframe; common retrofit choices include Honeywell or BendixKing-era EFIS suites, though the type-specific fit depends on individual installation history for N929JH. Typical missions for this airframe would be short- to medium-range executive transport within its 1,360 nm range and high-altitude transits to cruise ceilings up to 51,000 ft, frequently operated from the owner’s base in Saint Petersburg, FL, US. Maintenance considerations for this late-1990s airframe include engine TFE731 support and potential avionics upgrades to meet contemporary airspace requirements.

The Learjet 31A occupies a performance niche as a light, high-speed, high-ceiling business jet offering fast cruise capability (383 kts) and access to high flight levels (51,000 ft), attributes valued for point-to-point executive missions. Competing models in this segment are other light jets that emphasize speed and climb performance; buyer and charter demand for veteran 31A airframes typically focuses on cost-conscious owners seeking performance at lower acquisition prices, reflected by the $862,780 valuation. Resale and maintenance considerations for N929JH include engine lifecycle on the Honeywell/Airesearch TFE731 series, potential costs for avionics modernization, and the impact of certificated seating and documented owner/operator history on marketability.
