N990LC

This article concerns a single airframe, N990LC, a Learjet 35A built in 1982 by Gates Learjet Corp. and bearing serial number 483. The aircraft is owned by the corporation AERO JET AVIATION I INC, based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US, which is the listed operator and home base for the airframe. Public records of registry transactions and valuation or condition reports for this specific registration are not published; the most notable ownership entry in available data is the current corporate registration under AERO JET AVIATION I INC. Operational status beyond registry ownership and base location is not included in the supplied data.

The Learjet 35A airframe N990LC is configured for up to 10 occupants, matching the typical executive/freighter convertible layouts for the model. Although specific cabin cabinetry and upholstery details are not provided, the seating count indicates a light business jet interior optimized for short to medium-duration missions within the aircraft’s 2,424 nm range and high-speed cruise of 418 kts. Based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US, the corporate operator is logically positioned for regional and transcontinental missions across the continental United States, the Caribbean, and nearby international destinations. Avionics fit, interior finish, and recent maintenance specifics are not published for this airframe; routine considerations for the model include monitoring of the TFE731 engine hot-section life limits and calendar-based inspections typical of 1980s production airframes.

The Learjet 35A family occupies the light, high-performance business jet niche, offering long-range capability for its class with a high service ceiling of 45,000 ft and twin Garrett TFE731 turbofan powerplants delivering roughly 3,500 lbf each. Competing models in the same era and market segment include light jets from manufacturers such as Cessna and Dassault’s light offerings; demand historically centers on owner-operators and charter brokers seeking fast point-to-point performance. For this specific 1982 airframe, typical buyer and maintenance considerations include airframe age, avionics modernization needs, and engine program status, which materially affect resale and operating economics.
