What should I check when buying a used Learjet 31?
On a used Learjet 31, check airframe hours, engine time since overhaul, avionics generation and damage history before anything else. PlaneFox recommends a pre-purchase inspection by an EASA Part-145 shop that knows the type, which typically costs EUR 1,500 to EUR 3,500. Under 1,500 airframe hours is low-time and above 3,500 means budgeting for higher maintenance; most piston engines run a 2,000-hour TBO, so past 1,500 to 1,700 hours since overhaul expect the overhaul within one to three years at EUR 25,000 to EUR 45,000. Read the full logbook history for prop strikes, gear-up landings and structural repair, and confirm ADs and SBs are complied with.

About the Learjet 31

Aircraft overview

The Learjet 31 is a light business jet built by Learjet, later Bombardier Learjet, as a high altitude, fast point to point aircraft for corporate and private operators. It first flew in 1987 and entered production in 1988, with the improved Learjet 31A following in the early 1990s. The design combines the slender Learjet 35 series fuselage with the larger wing and winglets derived from the Learjet 55, giving the aircraft its distinctive climb and cruise performance. It matters in the used market because it offers classic Learjet speed and a 51,000 foot certified ceiling in a compact, owner manageable platform.

Performance & specifications

Typical high speed cruise is about 450 knots, with long range cruise lower depending on payload and weather. Published range is commonly around 1,200 nautical miles with IFR reserves, subject to passenger load, fuel planning and aircraft configuration. The Learjet 31 is powered by two Garrett, later Honeywell, TFE731 turbofan engines, each rated at approximately 3,500 pounds of thrust. Maximum operating altitude is 51,000 feet, a notable figure for the light jet category. Maximum takeoff weight is 15,500 pounds, while payload with full fuel is limited compared with larger light jets, so mission planning should focus on the usual passenger count and baggage requirements.

Cabin & avionics

The cabin is typically configured for six passengers, although layouts vary and some aircraft can seat more with a belted lavatory or alternate interior. The cabin is narrow by modern light jet standards, but it provides the traditional Learjet club seating arrangement and a private aft lavatory on many aircraft. Early Learjet 31 aircraft were delivered with analog and early EFIS avionics, while Learjet 31A examples commonly feature Bendix/King avionics with electronic flight displays. On the used market, upgrades may include Garmin GTN navigators, Universal FMS equipment, modern transponders, ADS-B compliance, RVSM capability and updated audio or weather systems.

Buying & value

Buyers should distinguish between the Learjet 31 and Learjet 31A, as avionics, systems updates and market desirability often differ. Inspection focus should include engine program status, hot section and overhaul times, landing gear cycles, pressurization history, corrosion checks, windshield condition, avionics supportability and compliance with current operating mandates. Interior refurbishment can affect usability, but avionics and engine status usually drive value more strongly. Current PlaneFox listing data shows an average asking price around EUR 671,000, with observed asking prices from about EUR 74,000 to EUR 1,110,000. In the used market, the Learjet 31 is positioned as a fast, compact legacy light jet for buyers who prioritize speed and altitude capability over cabin width and maximum payload.
