Index ≈ ×1.23 to ×1.48 on the aircraft value, already with ferry, ANAC nationalization, IPI and ICMS.
Market estimate: value + ferry + ANAC nationalization + taxes, no legal review. II, PIS and COFINS are 0% for aircraft (NCM 88.02); IPI is 6.5% (3.25% for air taxi) until Dec 31, 2026; ~4% ICMS only through a qualified importer (Agreement 75/91).
Operate = direct cost/hour (fuel + maintenance + engine); excludes fixed costs (hangar, crew, insurance). World: hourly rate published by charter operators. Brazil: charter is quoted per leg, so the hourly figure is an estimate from route quotes.

Learjet 35A, iconic light jet of the 80s. U.S. coast-to-coast range, high-altitude performance.
How much runway the Learjet 35A needs to dispatch: the manual figure and what the charter (RBAC 135) rule requires.
Dispatches under charter rules at 162 of 465 Brazilian public runways when dry, and at 115 when wet.
Verdict per regime (private, charter dry and wet) across 465 Brazilian public runways, with the margin in meters.
Starter feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.

Launched in 1976 as an evolution of the Lear 25, it was the first Lear with TFE731 turbofan engines, drastically more economical and quieter than the CJ610 turbojets. Very high cruise (471 knots max) and a 45,000 ft service ceiling put it above any competitor of the era. 738 units produced (35/36 series).
The USAF adopted the Lear 35A as the C-21A in 1984, 84 units for high-priority military passenger and cargo transport. It remained in active service for more than 40 years, with the last units being retired only in 2024. The longest-serving military aircraft of the Lear family.
The Learjet 35A is a light jet for up to 8 passengers with a 2,305 nm range and a 459 kt cruise speed, built from 1975 to 1994. The up-to-date RAB-ANAC registration count is in the Brazil Fleet section of this page, and the breakdown by status (operational, registration-mark reservation, suspended) is in the model's Analytics.
According to validation IA-789/2022 (revision 2, of 25 Apr 2023) by Mexico's civil aviation authority, the Learjet 35A belongs to FAA type certificate A10CE, held by Learjet Inc., of Wichita (Kansas). The document places the 35A in the transport category, with two Garrett TFE731-2-2B engines.
Out of production, the model can only be bought pre-owned. The pre-owned median and open listings, kept up to date, are in the price card and the For sale now card of this page.

With a range of 2,305nm and a speed of 459 knots, the Lear 35A can fly Los Angeles → New York nonstop against prevailing winds, a rare feat in light jets. An operating cost in the range of US$ 2,200/h keeps it competitive in the charter market almost 50 years after its debut.
A cabin with 1.32m of height prevents passengers from standing, a significant limitation on long flights. A width of 1.50m and length of 3.95m place the Lear 35A clearly below the modern midsize category. Comfort inferior to any current Cessna Citation.
In 1976, golfer Arnold Palmer set the world round-the-world record in his category with a Learjet 36 (the long-range variant of the 35), 36,840km in 57h25min42s. The flight proved the reliability of the TFE731 engines and cemented Lear's reputation as a long-distance aircraft.
Former astronaut Pete Conrad (the third man to walk on the Moon) used a Learjet 35A to break the round-the-world record in 1996, 49h21min08s. The aircraft itself is now on display at Denver International Airport, marking Lear's history as an instrument of legendary feats of aviation.
