N160SJ2008 Learjet 60XR

Overview

This entry describes the specific airframe bearing tail number N160SJ, a 2008-built Bombardier Learjet 60XR with serial number 60-345. The aircraft is owned by S9 Air Inc, a corporation based in Bonita Springs, FL, US, and is registered in the United States.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this airframe is configured in an eight-passenger executive layout: a forward right-hand three-place divan, four aft single club seats, and a belted aft lavatory, providing a classic Learjet executive interior optimized for point-to-point corporate missions. Avionics are Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 with dual FMS, TCAS Class 7, and Honeywell Mark V EGPWS, supporting modern navigation, traffic awareness, and terrain avoidance required for IFR corporate operations. Typical mission profiles for the installation include short- to mid-range business flights within the continental United States and offshore/overwater legs consistent with the aircraft’s 2,418 nm range and high-speed cruise of 436 kts. Operator base in Bonita Springs, FL implies frequent operations to and from southeastern U.S. and Caribbean destinations; maintenance considerations center on preservation of the Pro Line 21 suite and PW305A engine support programs for continued dispatch reliability.

Model & Market Context

The Bombardier Learjet 60XR occupies a performance niche as a high-speed, light mid-size business jet offering transcontinental capability for its class, with a 51,000 ft ceiling and cruise speeds approaching 436 kts. Competing models in mission profile and age cohort include other late-model light to mid-size jets from manufacturers such as Cessna and Embraer; buyer and charter demand for this spec is influenced by avionics fit and engine program status. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on the PW305A engines, Pro Line 21 avionics maintenance, and the aircraft’s 2008 manufacture date balanced against its fully specified executive cabin and U.S. corporate registry.
