N990EM

The airframe bearing tail number N990EM is a Bombardier-built Learjet 45, serial number 45-086, completed in 2000 by Learjet Inc (now part of Bombardier Aerospace). It is held by a Private owner (individual) and carries a US registration; no further public operator or home-base information is published. No notable registry actions or transfers are reported in the supplied data, and valuation or condition summaries for this specific airframe are not published.

The cabin of this Learjet 45 reflects the typical eight-place executive layout: club seating, a forward entry/galley and an aft lavatory, though specific interior refinements may vary with individual refits. Avionics are listed as the Honeywell Primus 1000 as typical for the model, but the airframe may have received avionics upgrades not recorded in the provided data. Operationally, aircraft of this configuration are commonly used on short to mid-range corporate missions consistent with a 1,968 nm range and a long-range cruise around 436 kts, enabling transcontinental routings within North America when payload and reserves permit. Maintenance considerations align with the twin Honeywell TFE731-20AR turbofan architecture and the airframe’s year of manufacture (2000), with inspections and component life limits governed by regulatory and manufacturer guidance.

The Bombardier Learjet 45 occupies a light-medium business jet niche, offering high cruise speed and a service ceiling up to 51,000 ft, targeted at owners seeking fast point-to-point travel for small passenger loads. Competitors in the segment historically include other light-cabin business jets with similar range and speed profiles. Buyer and charter demand for late-1990s to early-2000s Learjet 45s typically hinges on maintenance history, avionics fit (the standard Honeywell Primus 1000 is often a baseline), and interior condition, all factors that drive resale and operational cost considerations.
