Granted Full Type Certification From Agency On November 14
The FAA has granted certification for Bombardier's Learjet 75 aircraft. FAA certification for Learjet 75 aircraft was received on November 14, 2013. Certification and delivery efforts and activities are in progress for the Learjet 70 aircraft.
“We are delighted to have received FAA certification for the first Learjet 75 business jet”, said Ralph Acs, Vice-President and General Manager, Learjet, Bombardier Business Aircraft. “This jet is clearly a leader among its peers with its Bombardier Vision flight deck offering unmatched capability in its segment, the class-defining performance and efficiency improvements, as well as a completely new interior. This aircraft, along with its smaller sibling the Learjet 70 business jet, clearly have a bright future in business aviation.”
The aircraft has enhanced performance through an engine thrust increase with an improved Honeywell engine, offering improved takeoff field length performance over its predecessor. The new avionic system contributes to achieving weight savings and the new canted winglets improve aerodynamic efficiency. Overall, up to a nine per cent improvement in field performance under hot and high conditions and up to a four per cent improvement in fuel efficiency are expected.
The aircraft was certified with the Bombardier Vision Flight Deck, which the company says is designed to deliver a "completely new cockpit experience." The Bombardier Vision Flight Deck for Learjet 70 and Learjet 75 aircraft features the fully integrated Garmin G5000 digital avionics suite, designed with leading edge technology and one of the most intuitive crew interfaces available.
Bombardier says the aircraft will be supported by a maintenance program designed to allow customers to operate under a 600 flight hour fixed inspection interval at Bombardier’s worldwide Customer Services infrastructure. In addition, the company says direct operating costs will be reduced as a result of performance efficiency gains.
