Model & Market Context

This airframe, registered as N100AC, is a 2002-built Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) with manufacturer serial number 5546. The airframe is owned by SMITH VICARS & CO LLC, an LLC based in Charlottesville, VA, US, which appears as the registered operator on U.S. civil registers. The aircraft is valued at $6,000,000 in the supplied data, and its condition is implied to be consistent with an actively registered executive transport from its build era. No additional notable registry actions or prior-ownership transfers were provided in the supplied data.

This specific Challenger 604 is certified for 22 seats, though the aircraft typically carries executive interiors seating 8–12 in a forward-club / mid-club / belted divan layout, with a forward galley and enclosed lavatory as the common configuration for the type. Avionics fit for many 604s, and applicable to this airframe, is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 suite. Typical missions for the Challenger 604 family and for this example include medium- to long-range executive transport and corporate charter flights up to its 3,700 nm ferry capability, operating from the owner’s base in Charlottesville, Virginia and regional U.S. destinations. Maintenance considerations align with the CF34 family and Bombardier service practices; no bespoke modifications or unique equipment were provided.

The Bombardier Challenger 604 is positioned as a large-cabin, long-range business jet with transcontinental capability, here represented by N100AC with a 3,700 nm range and a 41,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in its era include large-cabin jets offering similar transcontinental mission flexibility; the Challenger’s operator appeal rests on cabin volume and reliability of the CF34 powerplant family. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2002 airframe reflect typical age-related factors and aftermarket demand for well-maintained Challenger 604s, with the stated $6,000,000 valuation informing buyer and charter-market expectations.
