N998NJ

The airframe bearing tail number N998NJ is a 2011-built Learjet 40XR, serial number 2130, recorded as owned by NORTHERN JET MANAGEMENT INC of Grand Rapids, MI, US. The aircraft is listed on the US registry as US and is operated from the owner’s Grand Rapids base for management and charter oversight. No public record of prior owners or major registry actions is reported in the provided dataset. The airframe carries a stated market valuation of $2,000,000, with condition and maintenance status not published in the supplied data.

The cabin is described in typical executive configuration for the model family: a 6–8 place club and forward refreshment area with an enclosed lavatory, though the layout remains operator-configurable for this specific airframe. Avionics fitment follows the family standard with Honeywell Primus series equipment typical to the Learjet 40/45 line, supporting modern navigation, communications, and flight management tasks. Operational use for this registration under Northern Jet Management would commonly include short- to mid-range executive transport and on-demand charter missions within the aircraft’s 1,862 nm range and cruise speed of 457 knots. Maintenance considerations align with twin Honeywell TFE731 turbofan operation and Learjet 40XR airframe schedules; specific maintenance status for N998NJ is not published in the provided data.

The Learjet 40XR occupies the light-cabin, high-speed end of the business jet market, offering transregional capability and a 51,000 ft service ceiling that supports favorable cruise performance and time savings. Competing models in mission profile and size include late-model light jets from Bombardier and Cessna, with buyer demand often driven by range, speed, and cabin flexibility — attributes reflected in N998NJ’s specifications. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine time on the pair of Honeywell TFE731-20BR units and the commonality of Honeywell Primus avionics for fleet support; such factors influence market value alongside documented condition and maintenance history, which are not provided here.
