The registration is set to expire on April 30, 2029. Powered by a Ge CF34 SERIES engine producing 9140 pounds of thrust, N715SK is. The aircraft's Mode S transponder code is A9903A (hex), used for ADS-B identification and flight tracking. N715SK was last tracked by AviatorDB near Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport (KPHX) on April 2, 2026. The FAA registry record for N715SK was last updated on December 5, 2023. AviatorDB monitors aircraft positions through ADS-B surveillance data and updates records as new position data is received.
The Learjet 60, a high-performance mid-size business jet that marked Bombardier's successful revival of the struggling Learjet marque, first flew on October 10, 1990. A low-wing twin-turbofan aircraft seating 6-8 passengers, it featured a fuselage stretched 43 inches over its predecessor and delivered class-leading climb performance to 41,000 feet in 18.5 minutes at maximum weight. Spanning 264.5 square feet of wing area with a maximum takeoff weight of 23,500 pounds, the aircraft was manufactured by Learjet Inc. under Bombardier Aerospace in Wichita, Kansas. AviatorDB tracks 2,968 Bombardier INC aircraft currently registered in the FAA database. The ICAO type designator for this aircraft model is LJ60.

NTSB Accident History (1)
| Date | NTSB # | Damage | Highest Injury | Probable Cause |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jun 10, 2017 | ENG17IA028 | MINR | None | A Bombardier CRJ700 No. 1 engine failure caused by buckling of the combustion outer liner due to fatigue cracks. The liner buckling resulted in airflow disruption and reduced engine performance. The engine fuel control unit attempted to compensate for the decrease in engine performance by increasing the fuel flow rate. The combustion liner damage and increased fuel flow led to incomplete combustion of the fuel injected into the combustion chamber. Unconsumed fuel then ignited downstream of the combustion chamber (delayed ignition) and resulted in high pressure turbine thermal damage, and the eventual separation of a high pressure turbine 2nd stage nozzle vane segment. The separated vane segment subsequently caused low pressure turbine case burn through and catastrophic impact damage to the high and low pressure turbine stages. |
