N92NS

This article describes airframe N92NS, a 1996-built Learjet 60/60XR with serial number 60-092. The aircraft is recorded as owned by RED CLAY AVIATION LLC of Pineville, North Carolina, United States, and is registered in the US. The airframe combines the mid-1990s Learjet 60/60XR production standard with the corporate ownership profile of a limited liability company; ownership and registry listings indicate operator basing in Pineville, NC. Valuation records list the airframe at $3,600,000, reflecting its model year and configuration in the light-midsize business jet category.

The cabin of N92NS is fitted with a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory, arranged in a typical executive configuration supporting two flight crew plus up to eight passengers, with the FAA listing seats as 11. Avionics are noted as the common fit for the type — the Collins Pro Line 4 suite — though specific fitment for N92NS is not publicly listed; public summaries therefore describe a typical Pro Line 4 installation for Learjet 60/60XR platforms. Operationally, the aircraft’s performance figures (long-range cruise and high-service ceiling) support charter, corporate point-to-point missions, and transcontinental hops consistent with light-midsize business jet use, with operator base activities centered on Pineville, NC. Maintenance considerations align with twin-PW305A support and Learjet 60/60XR-era component programmes.

The Learjet 60/60XR family occupies a niche as a light-midsize business jet offering high cruise speed and a high-altitude service ceiling relative to older light jets. Competing models in the market include other mid-1990s to 2000s light-midsize jets that balance speed, range, and cabin amenities. Buyer and charter demand for airframes like N92NS typically weighs operational economics, engine support for Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A, and the aircraft’s refurbishment and avionics status; resale valuation at $3,600,000 reflects those lifecycle and market considerations.
