Aircraft decision brief
Where the Learjet 60XR fits
Model overview
About the Learjet 60XR
The 60XR updated the Learjet 60 with a Collins Pro Line 21 flight deck and refreshed cabin while retaining the PW305-powered airframe. It offers midsize seating, brisk cruise and a 51,000-foot ceiling for transcontinental and regional missions.
Production was suspended and ultimately ended in 2013. The model remains widely operated, but runway and payload planning deserve more attention than on some slower-wing competitors.

Ownership considerations
Confirm PW305 engine and APU coverage, landing gear, thrust-reverser, brake and tire history, major inspections and service-action compliance. Runway events and high-cycle use require careful records and damage-history review.
Evaluate payload, runway length and hot-weather performance for regular airports. Cabin systems, connectivity and parts planning should be included in a multi-year ownership budget.

How it compares
