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
- 1990First flight
- 1993FAA certification
- 1993 - First midsize Learjet with a stand-up cabin
Launched in 1993, the Learjet 60 was the first Learjet with a stand-up cabin (1.73m height), breaking the tradition of the narrow fuselage of the Learjet 23/24/25/35/55, which had low cabins (1.30m-1.40m). Derived from the Learjet 55 with a widened fuselage and new PW305A engines, it marked Learjet's transition from the light to the midsize segment, in direct competition with the Citation VII and Hawker 800.
- 2007 - Replaced by the Learjet 60XR in 2007
After 14 years of production with approximately 314 units delivered, the Learjet 60 was replaced in 2007 by the Learjet 60XR, a version with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics (replacing the Pro Line 4), an updated interior and cabin improvements. 60XR production was suspended in 2012 due to weak demand.

Curiosities and highlights
Benefits
FL510 and Mach 0.81, super-mid performance
With a ceiling of FL510 (15,545m, higher than most midsize jets) and a maximum speed of Mach 0.81 (466 kt), the Learjet 60 flies above commercial traffic and has high-speed cruise performance comparable to the Citation X (Mach 0.92) and Falcon 50 (Mach 0.86). It allows crossing Brazilian tropical convective routes above the cumulonimbus and arriving faster on 2-3 hour missions.
2,405 nm range covers continental routes in Brazil
Maximum range of 2,405 nm with 4 passengers covers routes such as GRU-Manaus, GRU-Buenos Aires, GRU-Recife nonstop, or GRU-Miami with 1 stop. In the North American market it is popular on coast-to-coast routes (Los Angeles-New York). A stand-up cabin + enclosed lavatory delivers long-trip comfort for 6-7 passengers.
Limitations
Long 5,450 ft runway requirement restricts airports
A balanced field length of 5,450 ft (1,661m) at MTOW keeps the Learjet 60 out of several short executive airports in Brazil, including Sorocaba (1,260m) and some smaller regional runways. To operate from short runways at reduced weight, range drops significantly. Competitors such as the Citation Excel/XLS (3,560 ft) and Hawker 800 (4,300 ft) are more flexible.
High operating cost for a midsize
Fuel burn of 220 gph (high for a midsize) and direct operating cost of US$ 2,400/hour are above the category average. The PW305A engines burn more than the CFE738 (Hawker 800XP), JT15D (Citation VII) or PW535 (Citation XLS). In charter fleets, the Learjet 60's cost-per-mile is unfavorable compared to the Hawker 800XP or Citation Excel.
Curiosities
PW305A engines from Pratt & Whitney Canada's PW300 lineage
The Pratt & Whitney Canada PW305A engines of the Learjet 60 are part of the PW300 lineage, which also includes the PW308 (Falcon 2000EX, Hawker 4000) and PW307 (Falcon 7X). It is one of the most popular corporate engine families alongside the Honeywell TFE731 and Williams FJ44.
