About the Learjet 60

The Learjet 60 is the midsize Learjet — a stand-up-cabin jet powered by Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A engines, with more cabin and range than the light 40/45 and ~466 kt cruise. Produced 1993-2012, with the Learjet 60XR (2007+) updating the cockpit and interior. The 60 is the practical midsize Learjet at lower prices than purpose-built midsize jets like the Hawker 850 or Citation Sovereign — though its narrow Learjet cabin is shorter than competitors.

Buying a Used Learjet 60

Buying a Learjet 60 is about the engines, maintenance programs and avionics as much as the airframe. Engine and airframe hourly-maintenance programs transfer with the aircraft and materially change both price and risk.

What to check before buying

  • Engine status & program — time to overhaul/MPI and whether the engines are enrolled on an hourly maintenance program (the biggest value driver on any jet).
  • Airframe program & inspections — scheduled (Doc) inspections, airframe/parts programs and total cycles.
  • Avionics & mandates — a modern glass flight deck plus required mandates (ADS-B, FANS) raise value and capability.
  • Damage history & logbooks — complete, gap-free records and a clean accident history protect resale.
  • Pre-buy inspection — a full pre-buy at a type-authorised service centre before money changes hands.

Frequently Asked Questions — Learjet 60

What are the known safety issues with the Learjet 60?
The Learjet 60 has the highest incident rate in its class, mostly during landing due to an under-braked landing gear inherited from the Lear 23. Two thrust-reverser accidents (2001, 2008) led to an AD mandating additional voice alerts. Electrical bonding issues affected a batch of airframes — verify compliance history.
How do Learjet 60 operating costs compare to the Citation Excel?
The Learjet 60 burns more fuel (about 220 gph vs. 180 gph) and has higher maintenance costs due to its older design. However, it cruises 30+ knots faster. At 300 hours annually, expect $1.2-1.5M total operating cost. The Citation Excel wins on cabin comfort and economics; the Learjet wins on speed and climb.
What should I look for in a pre-buy inspection of a Learjet 60?
Prioritize the landing gear system (check brake rotor condition on all three per wheel), nose wheel steering computer history, and electrical bonding. Inspect thrust reverser mechanisms thoroughly. The 60XR variant (2007+) addressed many earlier issues with upgraded avionics — it commands a premium but reduces long-term risk.
