N45FG Aircraft Overview
N45FG is a Bombardier Learjet 36 registered in the United States with serial number on file. Light jets define the entry point for turbine-powered business aviation, offering jet speed and reliability with lower acquisition and operating costs than midsize or heavy platforms.
Bombardier Learjet 36 Market Position
The Learjet 36 extended the Learjet 35 with additional fuel capacity for intercontinental ferry range. It served primarily in specialized operations including aerial survey, medevac, and government reconnaissance. The type's speed and altitude capability made it the platform of choice for several military and intelligence applications.
Performance Profile
The Bombardier Learjet 36 cruises at 452 knots with a published range of 2360 nautical miles under standard reserves. These numbers support most regional missions of two to three hours without refueling. Power comes from 2x Honeywell TFE731-2. An operating ceiling of 45000 feet keeps the aircraft above most weather and turbulence.
Mission Profile
Light jets excel at missions under 1,500 nautical miles with smaller passenger groups. The Bombardier Learjet 36 typically seats 6 passengers in a cabin that prioritizes speed and efficiency over cabin volume. For owner-operators and small flight departments, this category delivers the lowest cost per seat-mile in the jet segment.
Charter Authorization
N45FG is not currently listed on a Part 135 certificate in the FAA D085 database. The aircraft operates under Part 91 as a private or corporate flight. Charter availability for this model can be arranged through operators in our network.
Insider Note
Light jets access thousands of airports that larger aircraft cannot reach. Runway requirements are typically under 4,000 feet, opening up regional and county airports closer to the final destination. This can save an hour or more of ground transportation compared to flying into a major hub.
