PT-WSB Aircraft Overview
PT-WSB is a Bombardier Learjet 31 registered in Brazil with serial number 31A-135. Light jets define the entry point for turbine-powered business aviation, offering jet speed and reliability with lower acquisition and operating costs than midsize or heavy platforms. The aircraft is associated with Voar Cooperativo, registered through the ANAC Brazil.
Learjet 31 Market Position
The Learjet 31 series combines the proven Learjet fuselage with improved low-speed handling from its Delta Fins. The type served extensively in charter, corporate, and military training roles. Its responsive controls and high-altitude performance reflect the Learjet design philosophy that prioritized pilot engagement.
Performance Profile
The Learjet 31 cruises at 460 knots with a published range of 1,450 nautical miles under standard reserves. These numbers support most regional missions of two to three hours without refueling. Power comes from 2x Honeywell TFE731-2. An operating ceiling of 51,000 feet keeps the aircraft above most weather and turbulence.
Mission Profile
Light jets excel at missions under 1,500 nautical miles with smaller passenger groups. The Learjet 31 typically seats 7 passengers in a cabin that prioritizes speed and efficiency over cabin volume. For owner-operators and small flight departments, this category delivers the lowest cost per seat-mile in the jet segment.
Charter & Availability
PT-WSB is registered in Brazil under the ANAC Brazil. Contact The Jet Finder to inquire about charter availability for this aircraft or similar Learjet 31 platforms worldwide.
Insider Note
Light jets access thousands of airports that larger aircraft cannot reach. Runway requirements are typically under 4,000 feet, opening up regional and county airports closer to the final destination. This can save an hour or more of ground transportation compared to flying into a major hub.
