N995DP

This entry documents the specific Gates Learjet airframe bearing registration N995DP, a 1984-built Gates Learjet 35A with serial number 600. The airframe is listed to the corporate owner AERO JET AVIATION I INC, based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US, and is registered in the US. Recorded as a 1984 production ship within the Learjet/Bombardier lineage and maintained in corporate ownership, valuation records show an estimated market value of $960,000 for this airframe in its present state.

FAA registry information for this airframe lists a 10-seat cabin configuration; however, operators of the Learjet 35A family commonly employ 6–8 passenger executive club/divan arrangements or medevac interiors depending on mission requirements, and this airframe may be reconfigured accordingly. Typical operations for a Learjet 35A of this specification include short‑to‑mid‑range executive transport, air ambulance sorties, and charter work within the aircraft’s 2,857 nm range and high‑speed cruise capability of 418 kts. Based at Fort Lauderdale, FL, the corporate owner would likely utilize the type’s high cruise speed and 45,000 ft ceiling for efficient regional routing; maintenance considerations are driven by the twin TFE731-2-2B engines’ support network and airframe age (1984 serial 600).

The Gates Learjet 35A occupies a niche as a light business jet offering high cruise speeds and relatively long ferry range for its class, exemplified by this airframe’s 418 kts cruise and 2,857 nm range. Competing models target similar missions but vary by cabin size and avionics fit; buyer and charter demand for older Learjet 35A airframes typically reflects airframe condition, engine life, and retrofit potential. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 1984 Gates Learjet 35A, serial 600, center on remaining engine cycles for the TFE731 series and the cost/benefit of interior or avionics upgrades relative to its $960,000 estimated value.
