Although the Learjet is a proven aviation industry workhorse, early models such as the Learjet 24, 25, 35 and 36 are approaching lifetime limits. An owner or operator concerned with tight operating margins, which are strongly dependent upon maintenance costs required to operate the Learjet, must consider cost effective approaches. Therefore, the need to keep a Learjet flying beyond the design life limit within an extremely affordable manner is vital. Extending the life of an existing fleet, which still has acceptable operational capability, is quite challenging but when planned properly, can result in cost savings, continued airworthiness, and accelerated operational readiness.
