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
- 1995First flight
- 1997FAA certification
- 1998 - Primeiro Lear cleansheet em 5 anos
Anunciado em 1992 e certificado em 1997 (primeira entrega 1998), o Lear 45 foi a primeira aeronave completamente nova da Lear desde o 31 (1990) e o primeiro Lear desenhado integralmente em CATIA 3D, antecipando o padrao da industria que so se consolidou no Boeing 777. Cleansheet permitiu cabine 30% maior que Lear 31 mantendo o range.
- 2004 - Versao XR, winglets e MTOW maior em 2004
Em outubro de 2004 a Bombardier lancou o Lear 45 XR com motores TFE731-20AR (mais empuxo em altitude/temperatura), MTOW aumentado de 9.480kg para 9.752kg e winglets refinadas. Range subiu de 1.860nm para 2.040nm e o time-to-climb caiu de 27 para 22 minutos ate FL410, uma das melhores performances do segmento light.
- 2012End of production
- 2013 - Sucedido pelo Lear 75 em 2013
Em 2013 a Bombardier lancou o Lear 75 como sucessor direto do 45 XR, mesma plataforma com avionica Garmin G5000, winglets canted novas e motores TFE731-40BR. O 45 XR continuou em producao paralela ate 2012, quando ja somava mais de 640 unidades totais (45 + 45 XR), tornando-se o Lear mais vendido da era moderna.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Cabine maior do segmento light pre-Phenom 300
Comprimento de 5,98m e largura de 1,55m colocam o Lear 45 XR entre as maiores cabines light. Double club seating + divan acomoda 8 passageiros com mesas dobraveis e armazenamento aft de 50 ft3. Comparado ao Citation CJ3 (4,82m) e Beechjet 400A (4,72m), o 45 XR oferece quase 1m a mais de cabine.
Type rating compartilhado familia Lear 40/45/70/75
Pilotos com type rating LR-Lear-45 podem operar Lear 40, 45, 70 e 75 com differences training minimo (8-16h). Frotas charter brasileiras como Solojet e Lider rotacionam pilotos entre aeronaves dessa familia, reduzindo custos de treinamento em 30-40%.
Limitations
Cabine sem stand-up vs concorrentes midsize
Apesar do tamanho da cabine, a altura interna de 1,50m nao permite stand-up, passageiros caminham curvados. Para voos longos (acima 3h) ou clientes corporativos exigentes, isso e fraqueza frente a midsize jets como Citation Excel (1,73m), Hawker 800XP (1,78m) e ate ao Phenom 300 (1,52m com piso plano que da sensacao maior).
Curiosities
Primeiro Lear sem o T-tail tradicional
O Lear 45 quebrou a tradicao do T-tail que definia visualmente os Lears desde o Lear 23 (1963), adotou empenagem cruciforme com estabilizador horizontal montado na metade do leme vertical. A mudanca foi puramente estrutural (peso e flutter) mas alterou drasticamente a silhueta da marca, gerando reacao mista entre puristas.
