O Learjet 31 é um jato leve biturbina produzido pela Bombardier entre 1991 e 2003, com código ICAO LJ31. Leva 6 passageiros em configuração típica e até 8 no máximo, voa a 456 kt de velocidade de cruzeiro, tem teto operacional de 51.000 ft e alcance de 1.251 nm, o que o posiciona em pernas curtas e médias. O peso máximo de decolagem é de 7.031 kg. Por ser um modelo fora de linha, a avaliação de compra no Brasil passa menos pela ficha de desempenho e mais pelo histórico de manutenção, pelas horas dos dois motores e pela disponibilidade de peças.

Pro feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.
