I've got a LR-JET type rating from like 100 years ago. Is that only good for the old 23/24s I flew back then or is it good for all the new fancy ones too?

Specifically does a LR45 have its own type rating?

thanx

LRJET also works for the 31/35.

Yes, the 45 is its own type.

LR-JET type covers. 23/24/25/28/31/35/36/55.
LR 45 is a whole other beast. I think it covers the 40/45 and avionics differences for the 75

What about the 29?

See FAA FSIMS for Flight Standardization Board reports (FSB reports) which will tell you all of this information (and more). Before you jump into the jet, it might be good to know if there are any differences training requirements..

You think??

As I remember (also 100 years ago) this airplane has a complete high speed low speed protection system. Many were killed in its early days, partly because the manufacture (and FAA) didn't realize the need for a robust envelop protection and partly because pilots were more cavalier about how and what to know before flying it.

A day in a sim would be good money spent!

Sounds like somebody used their GI bill before it ran out.

Good luck finding any of the 20 series any more. They are all but extinct with the Stage III compliance rule in effect.
As for the 30 series, the 31 is very different than the 35. If you are going to be flying a specific model, get some sim time in that model.
The 45 carries over a lot of Lear similarities, but as stated before, it's a completely different and more expensive type rating than the LRJET.
I love the Lears! They are a lot of fun to fly. My favorite is the 31. Brake release to FL180 in 2.5 minutes!!!! Little rocket.

Nothing like the 20 series...where you're fuel critical at engine start, and burn more fuel during taxi than at FL410!

Brake release to FL410 in well under 10 mins is impressive. I've heard of it being done in 7 mins, but not from any official source, so who knows. Not quite fighter performance, but probably the closest a civilian pilot will get.

The 31 would out climb the old 24's and 25's I used to sling freight in. Typically I would be level at 41 or 43 in about 15 minutes depending on weight and temp.

I love the 31. All of the fun performance of the 20's with none of the fuel headaches.
