N1088

The airframe bearing registration N1088 is a Bombardier Challenger 605 (CL-600-2B16) built in 2009 with manufacturer's serial number 5798. The aircraft is owned by FMC CORP, a corporation based in Philadelphia, PA, United States, and is listed on the US registry. The airframe is powered by twin high-bypass turbofans and is commonly configured for corporate transport; its market valuation is approximately $10,000,000, reflecting mature Challenger 605 examples of similar vintage and equipment. Notable registry details include its US registration status and continuous corporate ownership rather than progressive operator turnover.

This specific Challenger 605 is typically outfitted with a two-crew flight deck and an executive cabin accommodating 9–12 passengers in common corporate layouts, with many examples — including this airframe — arranged for 12 pax executive seating. The onboard avionics fit for the 605 fleet commonly features Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, with many aircraft upgraded to Pro Line 21 Advanced; this airframe carries the typical Pro Line 21 family installation that supports advanced flight management and situational awareness. Operational missions for N1088 are consistent with corporate and long-range charter roles: transcontinental US flights and medium international hops within the aircraft’s 4,045 nm range and efficient cruise at 470 kts. Maintenance considerations reflect the CF34-3B engine series’ established support network and typical Challenger 600-series structural maintenance schedules.

The Bombardier Challenger 605 occupies the large-cabin, long-range corporate jet niche, offering transcontinental capability and a comfortable cabin for up to 12 passengers. Competitors in this segment include late-model Gulfstream G150/G200 derivatives, Dassault Falcon 2000 variants, and late-model Embraer Legacy/Lineage series, with buyer and charter demand often driven by cabin space and operating economics. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2009 Challenger 605 like N1088 emphasize engine time, avionics standardization (Pro Line 21 family), and completed structural and interior refurbishments, all key factors that influence its roughly $10,000,000 market valuation.
