N289AW stayed within or below the middle half of the fleet in every month.

There were no tracking gaps, so the record is close to complete.

Chapter 04

Utilization

Harsher than the type

How steadily it has been used: flights, flying days and estimated hours against the type.

Flown far more than most. Harsher on utilization.

Heavy use means more of its maintenance intervals have been used up. Worth checking where it sits in its inspection cycle before a pre-buy.

Flights a monthHarsher
12.3

Against 6.3 for the middle Learjet 35 (77th). Used harder than most.

Chapters 01–03

Fatigue, corrosion, engines and brakes

01 Fatigue

Outside the middle of the fleet

How short were its legs? Airframes age by landings as well as by hours. Many short legs put more pressurization cycles on the structure for the same time in the air.

Hours per landing Lead metric
Estimated flight hours per landing

Also graded: short hops. Leg length is shown as context. See this chapter in the sample report →

02 Corrosion

Outside the middle of the fleet

Where does it spend its nights? Where a jet sleeps shapes how fast it corrodes. Salt and damp overnight are what an inspector looks at first.

Salt air Lead metric
Nights within 2 km of the coast, as a share of nights we can place

Also graded: damp air, freeze–thaw, near the coast and moisture in the air. See this chapter in the sample report →

03 Engines and brakes

Not graded: not enough data

How hard were its airfields? Short, hot and high runways ask for more thrust on every takeoff and harder braking on every landing. That wear doesn’t show in the hours.

Short runways Lead metric
Departures where the longest runway was under 1.25× the takeoff distance

Also graded: hot, high takeoffs; density altitude; dust and dry climate. See this chapter in the sample report →

Method

How this page is made

Everything here comes from N289AW’s ADS-B track, the position signal aircraft broadcast, over the 12 months to 31 Jul 2026. ADS-B misses some flights, so every count is a minimum. Flights appear seven days after they happen, by month only, and hours are estimated from time in the air; the logbook has the real totals. Airports, bases and exact dates are left out on purpose. How grades work: each graded measure is placed among the tracked Learjet 35s against the middle aircraft, the 50th percentile. Between the 25th and 75th it is typical; outside that band it is gentler or harsher. Utilization is graded here for free; for the other chapters this page shows the middle value of the fleet and whether this aircraft sits inside the middle half or outside it. Their grades and values are in the report, not on this page. Owners and operators can ask us not to publish an aircraft’s activity.
