N99RS

This entry describes U.S.-registered airframe N99RS, a Gates Learjet 36A built in 1984 with constructor serial 36-039. The airframe is owned by AMERICAN TIME MACHINE LLC, an LLC based in Edmond, OK, US, which functions as the aircraft's listed operator/home base in public registry records. The jet carries Manufacturer designation Gates Learjet Corp. and remains on the U.S. registry under the registration N99RS. Ownership by AMERICAN TIME MACHINE LLC is the principal recorded change in the aircraft's administrative history.

This specific Learjet 36A typically carries a compact executive fit configured in a typical 4–6 place executive layout, with single-club or forward cabin seating common to the model and expected in N99RS. With twin Honeywell TFE731-2 turbofan powerplants, the airframe is suited to medium-to-long light-jet missions and point-to-point executive transport over distances up to 2,857 nm at cruise speeds near 418 kts, frequently operating from its Edmond, Oklahoma base for regional or transcontinental missions. The airframe’s systems and maintenance follow the standard practices for early-1980s Learjet types; specifics of avionics fit, interior finish and recent maintenance status are not published in the supplied data.

The Gates Learjet 36A occupies the light, high-speed business jet niche characterized by high cruise performance and relatively long range for its cabin size, demonstrated here by N99RS’s 418 kts cruise and 2,857 nm range. With seating for 6 and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, the model appeals to owner-operators and charter customers prioritizing speed and range over cabin volume. As a 1984 serial 36-039 airframe, market and resale considerations include age-related systems upgrades, engine time on the TFE731-2 series and typical maintenance cycles for legacy Learjet airframes; such factors commonly influence demand and operating economics for this family.
