Model & Market Context

The aircraft bearing tail number N999CM is a 1981-built Learjet 55 with serial number 55-005. It is registered in the United States and is currently recorded as owned by BCHJET2 LLC, an LLC based in Greer, South Carolina, US; this registration and ownership are the principal documented registry actions for this airframe. The airframe retains typical configuration elements for the model and carries a listed market valuation of $666,000, reflecting its age and configuration. Condition highlights are limited to the registration, seating configuration, and typical equipment suites noted for this specific airframe.

The cabin for this Learjet 55 is listed in an executive layout typical of the type, with conventional arrangements indicating 6–8 executive seats as typical for the model but the registered configuration showing 13 seats; the aft area includes a lavatory and a small galley/refreshment center as commonly fitted to the model. Avionics fitment is reported as typical legacy Collins/FDS style Pro Line suites or retrofits, which may vary by airframe and affect operational equipment lists. Based from Greer, South Carolina under the ownership of BCHJET2 LLC, the aircraft’s range and cruise performance align with missions such as medium-range executive transport or charter operations within continental US sectors. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow Learjet 55 practices and be influenced by the legacy avionics and age-related systems programs.

The Learjet 55 family occupies a mid-size business jet niche, offering high-altitude capability to 51,000 ft and transcontinental range in its class with 2,244 nm range and 419 kts cruise. Competing in secondary markets against other late-model light-to-midsize business jets, demand is generally driven by operators seeking high-speed, high-altitude performance in a compact airframe. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are impacted by its 1981 build year, legacy avionics choices, and the availability of TFE731 engine support, all of which factor into the recorded market value of $666,000.
