RADAR ESTIMATE
What N189PP is worth, and where it’s heading.
Radar's value model doesn't cover the Learjet 45XR on its own yet, so this borrows the Cessna Citation XLS+ curve, scales it to N189PP's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES
About N189PP
Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.
Overview
This airframe, operating as N189PP, is a Learjet 45XR with manufacturer serial number 45-264, built by LEARJET INC. The airframe is registered in the United States and is registered to Butler LLC, an LLC based in Richmond, VA, US, which serves as its owner/operator on the registry. No other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published beyond the current corporate registration.
Operations & Cabin
The cabin on this specific Learjet 45XR is arranged in a flat-floor executive layout and the registry describes capacity up to 12, although typical executive seating layouts for the model are configured for eight to nine passengers. Avionics commonly fitted to this airframe type and noted as the common fit for the model is the Honeywell Primus 1000, supporting business-aviation navigation and communications standards. Typical missions for the airframe and operator profile include short- to medium-range executive transport, leveraging the jet’s high cruise speed and transcontinental range to serve regional corporate shuttles and point-to-point charter operations from its Richmond, VA base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with the Learjet 45XR baseline: twin TFE731 turbofan upkeep, pressurized flat-floor cabin systems, and avionics lifecycle management.
Model & Market Context
The Learjet 45XR family occupies a light-to-midsize business jet niche known for high cruise speeds and substantial service ceiling, competing with contemporaries in the light jet segment. Demand in the buyer and charter market tends to favor examples with executive interior preservation and up-to-date avionics like the Honeywell Primus 1000; examples configured closer to the registry capacity maximum may appeal to operators needing higher passenger counts.
