N960AS

This entry covers airframe N960AS, a 2010-built business jet with serial number 408, manufactured by LEARJET INC. The registry lists the airframe as owned by NOLAN AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Dover, DE, US, and operating under US registration; registration and ownership are recorded to that company. Valuation records indicate a current market value of $3,400,000, reflecting its age, equipment fit and typical market depreciation for the type. No other notable registry actions beyond the current ownership record are published for this specific airframe.

The aircraft is configured on the registry with 12 seats, while the typical Learjet 45XR passenger configuration is an eight-place double-club with belted lavatory option; therefore N960AS may be operated in higher-density layouts or certifiably reconfigured to the common executive interior. Avionics fit on typical 45XR airframes is the Honeywell Primus 1000 / IC-600 family, which supports common business-jet navigation, flight management and communications tasks, and is consistent with long-range high-speed missions. With a cruise of 436 kts and a max certified altitude of 51,000 ft, this airframe is suited to transcontinental and offshore charter legs within its 2,301 nm range, often flown by owner-operators or managed charter providers based from its Dover, DE operator footprint. Maintenance considerations mirror the model norms for Honeywell TFE731 powerplants and Honeywell avionics, affecting operating costs and inspection cycles for this specific L/J 45XR.

The Learjet 45XR occupies the light-medium business-jet niche, offering high cruise speed and a high service ceiling relative to many light jets, with the Honeywell TFE731-20BR engines delivering 3,650 lbf each. Competitors include late-model light-medium jets offering similar range and cabin capacity, and buyers weigh operating economics, avionics capability and interior layout when selecting a 45XR. Resale and maintenance considerations for N960AS reflect age (2010 build), the installed avionics package, and engine hours; its recorded valuation of $3,400,000 guides market expectations for private-sale or brokered transactions.
