Bombardier Learjet 36 Overview
The Bombardier Learjet 36 is a light jet manufactured by Bombardier Aviation, produced from 1976-1990. Classified as a light-cabin aircraft, the Bombardier Learjet 36 carries up to 6 passengers at a maximum cruise speed of 452 knots with a range of 2,360 nautical miles — placing it squarely in the charter and corporate flight segment for cross-country domestic missions.
The Jet Finder's aircraft directory currently tracks 18 active Bombardier Learjet 36 registrations in the FAA Aircraft Registry. Each tail number page below provides individual registration data, serial numbers, ownership records, and specification details sourced from official FAA documentation.
Performance & Powerplant
Power comes from 2x Honeywell TFE731-2, each producing 3,500 lbs of thrust. Maximum cruise speed reaches 452 knots (undefined), with a long-range cruise of 420 kts for missions where fuel efficiency matters more than speed. The service ceiling of 45,000 feet puts the Bombardier Learjet 36 well above commercial traffic corridors, and a takeoff distance of 4,430 ft keeps smaller airfields accessible.
With 2,360 nautical miles of range under standard reserves, the Bombardier Learjet 36 handles regional cross-country routing — New York to Miami, Chicago to Dallas, or Los Angeles to Seattle. Typical hourly operating costs range from $2,200-$3,000 per flight hour.
Cabin & Interior
The Bombardier Learjet 36 cabin measures 12.9 ft long, 4.9 ft wide, and 4.3 ft tall. Standard configurations seat up to 6 passengers, with 40 cu ft of externally accessible baggage capacity. The Collins avionics suite provides full IFR certification for all-weather operations.
Evolution & Market Position
Long-range variant of the Learjet 35. For those considering acquisition or evaluating options to sell, understanding the transition between variants is essential for informed decision-making. Well-maintained Bombardier Learjet 36 aircraft remain sought after in the pre-owned market, with strong demand from both private owners and charter operators.
