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.

History

  1. 2013 - First Lear with Garmin G5000 touchscreen

    Announced in 2012, the Lear 70 and Lear 75 were the first Lears equipped with Garmin G5000 avionics, 3 14-inch touchscreen displays with synthetic vision, integrated FliteCharts and GTC controllers. The choice of Garmin (instead of Honeywell or Collins) was unprecedented in the Lear line and followed the G5000's success on the King Air and Citation Latitude.

  2. 2013 - Successor to the Learjet 40XR

    Announced by Bombardier at EBACE 2012 together with the Learjet 75. Certified by the FAA in November 2013. Garmin G5000 avionics and new winglets vs. the 40XR.

    Bombardier Press Release
  3. 2013FAA certification
  4. 2017 - Only 11 units produced in 4 years

    Bombardier delivered approximately 11 Lear 70s between 2013 and 2017, while the Lear 75 stayed in production until 2022. In February 2021, Bombardier made the definitive end of the Learjet brand official after 58 years; the Lear 70 is the second least-produced model in the brand's history, behind only the Lear 28/29 (5 units).

  5. 2017 - Production ended in 2017

    Bombardier discontinued the Learjet 70 in 2017 due to low demand, a small global fleet (estimated at ~10 units), well below the 75.

Curiosities and highlights

Benefits

Synthetic vision (SVT) reduces risk in IMC

The G5000 offers synthetic vision technology, a 3D representation of terrain, obstacles and runway even in zero visibility. For operations at Brazilian airports with complex terrain (Confins, Vitória, Florianópolis), it significantly reduces the risk of CFIT (Controlled Flight Into Terrain) and improves situational awareness on RNP approaches.

Shared type rating across the Lear 40/45/70/75 family

The same LR-Lear-45 type rating covers the Lear 40, 45, 70 and 75; pilots certified on any of the four can operate the others with avionics differences training (8-16h). Practical for operators that mix legacy (45 XR) and modern (75) fleets with the same pilot crew.

High speed for a light jet

Maximum speed of Mach 0.81, higher than the Phenom 300E (M 0.80) and Citation CJ4 (M 0.77) in the same light jet category.

Bombardier specs

Limitations

No stand-up and low liquidity on the secondary market

The 1.50m cabin height does not allow stand-up, and the low production volume (only 11 units) makes the secondary market illiquid. Finding a Lear 70 for sale is rare and the average time to sell exceeds 12 months; operators prefer the Lear 75 (stretched, same avionics) or the Phenom 300E (larger cabin, newer).

Lear line discontinued in 2021

In February 2021 Bombardier announced the end of Learjet production, closing the brand after 58 years and more than 3,000 units. The last delivery, a Learjet 75, was in March 2022, and factory support continues through the Wichita service center until 2030+. For buyers in 2026, the risk is the longevity of support and parts availability.

Shorter cabin vs. the Learjet 75

Cabin length of 5.39m (vs. 6.02m for the 75) seats 6 passengers instead of 8, a fuselage difference between the 70 and 75 models.

Bombardier

Curiosities

Same fuselage as the Lear 40, cosmetic successor

Structurally the Lear 70 is almost identical to the 40 XR: same short-body fuselage, same dimensions, same basic wing. The differences are G5000 avionics, -40BR engines (vs. -20AR) and optimized canted winglets. Internally some engineers called the 70/75 the 'Lear 40/45 with a new panel' because of the structural continuity.

Tiny residual fleet

Because it was discontinued so quickly, the Learjet 70 is one of the rarest modern jets, and operators need to rely on specific Learjet maintenance centers.
