What should I check when buying a used Learjet 40 / 45?

On a used Learjet 40 / 45, 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 40 / 45

Aircraft overview

The Learjet 40 / 45 family was developed by Bombardier Learjet as a clean sheet light to midsize business jet line, separate from the earlier Learjet 31 and Learjet 60 families. The Learjet 45 first flew in 1995, received FAA certification in 1997 and entered service in 1998. The Learjet 40, a shorter cabin derivative of the Learjet 45, first flew in 2002 and entered service in 2004. Production of the family continued into the early 2010s, including the upgraded Learjet 40XR and Learjet 45XR. The type matters in the used market because it combines classic Learjet speed and high altitude capability with a more modern cabin cross section, a flat floor and a fully integrated avionics suite.

Performance & specifications

Typical high speed cruise is about 465 knots, with long range cruise commonly planned lower for efficiency. The Learjet 45 has a published range of about 1,900 nautical miles under NBAA IFR reserve assumptions, while the shorter Learjet 40 is typically quoted at about 1,800 nautical miles, depending on loading and conditions. Both models are certified to 51,000 feet. Power comes from two Honeywell TFE731 turbofans, with early Learjet 45 aircraft using TFE731-20AR engines and XR models using uprated TFE731-20BR engines. Useful load varies by serial number, equipment and interior, so buyers should compare the actual weight and balance report rather than rely on brochure figures.

Cabin & avionics

The Learjet 45 normally seats eight passengers in a double club cabin, with a belted lavatory seat often available as an additional certified seat. The Learjet 40 usually seats six to seven passengers in a shorter cabin. Both have a flat floor, a forward galley area and an enclosed aft lavatory, but cabin height remains in the light jet class rather than stand up. Avionics are typically Honeywell Primus 1000, not Garmin Perspective or G1000. Buyers should review display condition, autopilot functions, FMS configuration, WAAS or LPV capability, ADS-B compliance and any cockpit refurbishment history.

Buying & value

On the used market, the Learjet 40 / 45 often sits between smaller light jets and larger midsize aircraft, valued for speed, ceiling and range rather than maximum cabin volume. Important checks include engine program status, TFE731 maintenance history, landing gear inspections, corrosion findings, service bulletin compliance and cabin pressurization condition. The XR variants are generally preferred for improved hot and high performance and later production dates. Current PlaneFox listing data shows an average asking price around EUR 2,440,000, with asking prices from about EUR 1,680,000 to EUR 3,450,000, reflecting variant, year, engine coverage, avionics updates and total time.
