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.

Differences between variants
History
- 1995First flight
- 1997FAA certification
- 1998 - First clean-sheet Lear in 5 years
Announced in 1992 and certified in 1997 (first delivery 1998), the Lear 45 was Lear's first completely new aircraft since the 31 (1990) and the first Lear designed entirely in CATIA 3D, anticipating the industry standard that only became consolidated with the Boeing 777. The clean-sheet design allowed a cabin 30% larger than the Lear 31 while keeping the range.
- 2004 - XR version, winglets and higher MTOW in 2004
Announced in July 2002 at Farnborough and delivered from 2004, the Lear 45 XR brought Honeywell TFE731-20BR engines (more thrust at altitude and temperature, replacing the TFE731-20AR of the original Lear 45), MTOW increased from 9,299 kg (20,500 lb) to 9,752 kg (21,500 lb) and refined winglets. At launch Bombardier announced a maximum range of 2,098 nm with 4 passengers and IFR reserves, and Lear 45 operators could bring the aircraft up to XR standard by service bulletin.
- 2012End of production
- 2013 - Succeeded by the Lear 75 in 2013
In 2013 Bombardier launched the Lear 75 as the direct successor to the 45 XR, same platform with Garmin G5000 avionics, new canted winglets and TFE731-40BR engines. The 45 XR stayed in production until the 2012 model year, by which point it totaled more than 640 units (45 + 45 XR), becoming the best-selling Lear of the modern era.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
Largest light-segment cabin before the Phenom 300
A length of 5.98m and width of 1.55m put the Lear 45 XR among the largest light jet cabins. Double club seating + divan accommodates 8 passengers with folding tables and 50 ft3 of aft storage. Compared to the Citation CJ3 (4.82m) and Beechjet 400A (4.72m), the 45 XR offers almost 1m more cabin.
Type rating shared across the Lear 40/45/70/75 family
Pilots with the LR-Lear-45 type rating can operate the Lear 40, 45, 70 and 75 with minimal differences training (8-16h). Brazilian charter fleets such as Solojet and Lider rotate pilots among aircraft of this family, cutting training costs by 30-40%.
Limitations
No stand-up cabin vs. midsize competitors
Despite the cabin's size, the interior height of 1.50m does not allow standing; passengers walk hunched over. For long flights (over 3h) or demanding corporate clients, this is a weakness against midsize jets such as the Citation Excel (1.73m), Hawker 800XP (1.78m) and even the Phenom 300 (1.52m, with a flat floor that gives a greater sense of space).
