RADAR ESTIMATE
What N16FN is worth, and where it’s heading.
Radar's value model doesn't cover the Learjet 36A on its own yet, so this borrows the Embraer Phenom 300/300E curve, scales it to N16FN's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N16FN
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
The airframe bearing tail number N16FN is a 1976-built Gates Learjet 36A, serial 027, manufactured by Gates Learjet Corporation. Current ownership is recorded to the corporation GH Equipment LLC based in Dover, DE, US, and the aircraft is registered in the US. No other public ownership transfers or major incident records are provided in the supplied data.
Operations & Cabin
This specific Gates Learjet 36A is typically configured in the manufacturer’s long-range layout for the model, supporting a 4-6 passenger cabin fit for extended missions while the official registry entry shows 10 seats on record. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type include business long-range hops and light corporate transport over distances near its 2,857 nm capability, operating from the owner’s Dover, Delaware base when not under charter. Avionics fit and interior amenity specifics are not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations for this airframe would reflect its 1976 build year and the two Garrett TFE731-2-2B turbofan engines requiring lifecycle and shop inspections consistent with older Learjet fleets. Registry notation of a 10-seat configuration alongside a long-range cabin layout may indicate alternate interior layouts or prior reconfigurations on record.
Model & Market Context
The Gates Learjet 36A occupies a niche as a light, long-range business jet with high cruise speed (436 kts) and a 45,000 ft ceiling, appealing to operators needing fast point-to-point capability over transcontinental ranges. Competing models in its era and market segment include other late-1970s light jets offering similar cruise and ceiling performance but differing in cabin size and operating economics.
