N178MM2000 Learjet 60XR

Overview

This entry concerns airframe N178MM, a production Bombardier-built business jet delivered in the year 2000 with serial number 60-178. The airframe is owned by Hop-A-Jet Worldwide Jet Charter Inc, a corporate operator based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US, and is operated from that home base under U.S. registration. No other registry actions or ownership changes are published in the provided data.

Operations & Cabin

The aircraft is fitted with an executive seven-place cabin in the typical Learjet 60XR layout, incorporating a forward galley and a belted lavatory aft, consistent with corporate charter configurations for short- to medium-haul missions. Avionics aboard this airframe include a Collins avionics stack with dual Universal UNS-1E flight management systems, Collins WXR-840 weather radar, Honeywell MK V EGPWS, and Collins TCAS II, supporting IFR commercial charter and corporate operations. Typical mission profiles for this configuration and range include transcontinental U.S. trips and point-to-point regional charters out of the Fort Lauderdale base, balancing speed and mid-range payload. Maintenance considerations follow Learjet 60XR norms, with systems and engine support focused on the twin PW305A powerplants and the installed Collins and Honeywell avionics suite.

Model & Market Context

The airframe is a member of the Bombardier Learjet 60XR family, a mid-size business jet positioned for customers needing high cruise speeds and a 51,000 ft service ceiling in a compact airframe. Competitors in its performance niche target similar mid-range missions and may influence buyer or charter demand for older production-year examples. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2000-built airframe are driven by engine time on the Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A pair, avionics pedigree, and overall condition, factors reflected in the stated valuation.
