Ownership considerations
Prospective owners should test the Learjet 31's payload, range, runway, baggage, and cabin profile against their recurring missions. Published maximum figures are planning references; real-world capability depends on loading, reserves, weather, airport conditions, and the individual aircraft's configuration.
For a pre-owned example, diligence should address engine and auxiliary-power-unit status, program coverage, logbook continuity, calendar- and cycle-driven inspections, landing gear, pressurization, corrosion, avionics supportability, cabin systems, prior repairs, and parts availability. Upcoming maintenance and modernization can outweigh a low acquisition price.
