N100FL

This entry covers the Challenger airframe bearing tail number N100FL, a 2001 build with manufacturer serial 5510. The airframe is a Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) built by Bombardier Inc. and is registered in the United States. Owned by GHS LEASING CO, a corporation based in Newport Beach, CA, US, the jet is recorded with a market valuation of $5,300,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and typical mid-life status within the Challenger 604 fleet.

The cabin of this specific airframe is configured to a typical executive layout accommodating 10–12 passengers in a forward galley, two club sections/double-club arrangement, and an aft lavatory; the operator sheet additionally lists berthing capacity as 4. Avionics are recorded as the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 baseline common to many CL-600-2B16 airframes, with a note that many examples are upgraded to Pro Line Fusion or similar suites. Typical mission profiles for this airframe would include medium- to long-range corporate transport within its 4,119 nm capability and high-speed cruise at 459 kts, often operating from the owner’s US home base in Southern California for executive, lease, or charter duties. Maintenance considerations reflect standard Challenger 604 practices given its 2001 manufacture year and the CF34-3B engine type.

The Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) occupies the large-cabin, transcontinental business jet niche, offering intercontinental range near 4,119 nm and a certified ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models include later Challenger variants and other large-cabin types that may offer newer avionics or higher efficiency; many 604s see avionics and interior refurbishment cycles to maintain charter competitiveness. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on engine hours on the CF34-3B powerplants, the condition of the Pro Line 4 avionics baseline, and the documented interior and berthing equipment as listed on the operator sheet.
