RADAR ESTIMATE
What N17A 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 N17A's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N17A
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This entry covers the specific airframe N17A, a short-fuselage business jet built in 1980 as a Learjet 36A with serial number 36-046. The aircraft is registered in the US and is held by Valiair Limited Co Trustee, a trustee/LLC based in Ogden, UT, US, a change in legal ownership noted in registry records.
Operations & Cabin
The airframe retains the compact short-fuselage Learjet layout typically configured as a 4-place club or a 6-8 place executive arrangement, with the registry listing up to 10 seats, allowing flexible interior fits according to operator requirements. Avionics installations on this airframe are reported as Collins Pro Line and mixed Collins-Universal retrofits, reflecting airframe-specific modernization paths and variability in instrumentation. Typical mission profiles for this Learjet 36A include short-to-medium range executive transport and light charter operations within its 2,708 nm range and high-speed cruise capability of 441 kts, operating from the owner's base area around Ogden, UT. Maintenance and operational planning for this particular aircraft are influenced by its twin TFE731-5BR engines and the mixed avionics state, which can affect parts sourcing and upgrade timelines.
Model & Market Context
The Learjet 36A airframe represented here occupies a performance niche defined by high cruise speed and transcontinental short-fuselage range capability, exemplified by its 441 kts cruise and 2,708 nm range. Market demand for such short-fuselage Learjets tends toward owners and operators seeking compact, fast executive transports with single-pilot operational flexibility and modest seating up to 10.
