Learjet 36

Listing-based estimates for the 5 Learjet 36s on Radar run from about $176K to $1.4M, with a middle estimate of $450K. They are rough estimates from public listings and market reports, not appraisals.

What moves the price of any one Learjet 36: total time and engine time, engine program enrollment, damage history, avionics and equipment, and complete logbooks. Build year sets the baseline; a Learjet 36 with high hours, an engine near overhaul or gaps in its records sells below it, and one with low time, recent inspections and full records above it.

As published: up to 6 passengers, a range of 2,425 nm (2,791 statute miles), a high-speed cruise of 470 ktas (541 mph), a ceiling of 45,000 ft, a cabin 4 ft 4 in high, 4 ft 11 in wide and 2 × Garrett TFE731-2-2B engines. A given aircraft varies with its completion, weight and modifications.

The Learjet 36's published range is 2,425 nautical miles (2,791 statute miles), with bJT (36A): maximum NBAA IFR range at long-range cruise with all passenger seats occupied, 200 nm alternate. Winds, payload, cruise speed and the reserves a flight carries change what a given trip can do.

Not nonstop between New York and London: that is about 2,986 nm, against a published range of 2,425 nm. Aircraft with less range than the crossing make it in legs, with fuel stops in Canada, Greenland and Iceland.

Only just. Los Angeles to Honolulu is about 2,217 nm with no alternate airport on the way, close to the Learjet 36's published range of 2,425 nm, so winds and load decide whether a given flight can go nonstop.

The Learjet 36 cruises at up to 470 knots true airspeed (about 541 mph), and its maximum operating Mach number is 0.72, as published.

The Learjet 36 is certified to 45,000 feet. Heavy aircraft climb there in steps as they burn fuel.

Up to 6 passengers, the most the type is published for. Many aircraft are completed with fewer, larger seats, so a given Learjet 36 may seat fewer.

4 ft 4 in high and 4 ft 11 in wide, 10 ft 6 in long, as published.

Radar covers the 36 (built 1974 to 1975) and the 36A (built 1976 to 1980). They share this page because people search for them as one aircraft; each has its own section with its specs, value and tail numbers.
