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.

Differences between variants
History
- 2002 - Sucessor direto do Learjet 31A
Lancado em 2002 com primeira entrega em janeiro de 2004, o Lear 40 substituiu o Learjet 31A como o light jet de entrada da Bombardier. Compartilha 95% da estrutura com o Lear 45, exceto pela fuselagem encurtada em 61cm, uma estrategia de plataforma comum que reduziu custos de desenvolvimento e certificacao em mais de 60%.
- 2002First flight
- 2003FAA certification
- 2005 - Versao XR aumentou MTOW e empuxo em 2005
A variante XR introduzida em outubro de 2005 trouxe motores TFE731-20AR (vs -20BR) com FADEC mais agressivo, MTOW aumentado de 9.480kg para 9.752kg e melhor performance em hot-and-high. Range subiu de 1.737nm para 1.785nm e a temperatura ambiente operacional tolerada subiu para ISA+22.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Type rating compartilhado com Lear 45/70/75
Pilotos com type rating LR-Lear-45 podem operar o Lear 40, 45, 70 e 75 com differences training minimo (8-16h). Isso simplifica a logistica de pilotos para frotas mistas e e atrativo para charter brokers BR que rotacionam tripulacao entre aeronaves.
Teto de 51.000 pes, cruzeiro alto e suave
O Lear 40 XR voa em FL510 (51.000 pes), acima do trafego comercial regular (FL370-FL410) e da maioria das tempestades convectivas tropicais. Combinado com pressurizacao 9,4 PSI, a cabine permanece a 8.000 pes mesmo no teto operacional, um diferencial sobre concorrentes como Citation CJ3 (FL450) e Beechjet 400A (FL450).
Limitations
Cabine sem stand-up vs concorrencia midsize
Cabine de 1,50m de altura nao permite stand-up, passageiros precisam ficar curvados ou sentados. Para voos acima de 3 horas, esse e um ponto fraco frente a midsize jets como Hawker 800XP (1,78m) e Citation Excel (1,73m), e ate frente ao Phenom 300 (1,52m com piso plano).
Vendas modestas, apenas 80 unidades XR
Producao total da familia Lear 40 (incluindo XR) ficou em torno de 165 unidades, com cerca de 80 sendo XR. Comparado ao Lear 45 XR (mais de 400 unidades XR) e ao concorrente Phenom 300 (mais de 700 unidades), o 40 XR teve adocao modesta, operadores preferiam pagar pelo Lear 45 maior pela diferenca de preco pequena (cerca de 12%).
Curiosities
Primeira Lear com fuselagem completamente nova em 7 anos
O Lear 40 (derivado do 45 de 1995) foi a primeira plataforma totalmente nova da Lear desde o proprio 45, um intervalo grande para a marca historicamente prolifica. A Bombardier optou por capitalizar a plataforma 45 com variantes (40, 75) ao inves de novos cleansheets, estrategia que gerou criticas no mercado por falta de inovacao.
