N16CS1997 Learjet 60

Overview

This airframe, tail number N16CS, is a 1997-built Learjet 60 manufactured by Learjet Inc, serial 60-098. It is owned by Aircraft Guaranty Corp Trustee, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US and is registered in the US. Notable registry and ownership actions are limited to the publicly supplied trustee ownership; no other transfers or operator entries are provided in the available data.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of N16CS is configured in a typical executive 7-8 passenger layout with a forward galley, club seating, and an aft lavatory, while the aircraft is certified for up to 11 seats per its registration. Avionics are listed as Collins Pro Line 4 as typical for the type, though the data notes that some airframes may have been upgraded or retrofitted; no specific upgrade history is provided for this airframe. Typical mission profiles for this airframe and equipment package would include executive point-to-point transport and charter hops within the aircraft’s 2,418 nm range and high-speed cruise of 436 kts, exploiting the type’s long-range light business jet capabilities. Maintenance considerations follow those of in-production Learjet 60 airframes with twin PW305A engines and systems common to the Collins Pro Line 4 suite.

Model & Market Context

The Learjet 60 occupies the light-to-midsize business jet niche, offering relatively high cruise speeds and a service ceiling to 51,000 ft paired with transcontinental range in many mission profiles. Competing models in the era encompass other late-1990s light midsize jets; buyers and charter operators typically seek the Learjet 60 for speed and climb performance rather than the largest cabin volume.
