N131KS

The airframe bearing tail number N131KS is a 2006-built Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300, serial 20092, manufactured by Bombardier Inc. The aircraft is owned by Springbok LLC (an LLC) based in Seattle, WA, US and is registered in the United States. Registered to Springbok LLC in Seattle, WA, this Challenger 300 example reflects typical mid-2000s Challenger production standards and has been operated as an executive transport since delivery. Publicly available registry information identifies the Seattle-based owner but does not list any additional operator lineage or notable registry actions beyond its current ownership.

This airframe is fitted internally in the standard Challenger 300 executive configuration: a typical two‑one/one double‑club layout accommodating eight passengers with a belted lavatory option. The avionics fit associated with many Challenger 300s is the Collins Pro Line 21; this system is noted as a common fit or upgrade on the fleet, while the specific fit for N131KS is unconfirmed in available data. Operationally, the Challenger 300 platform for which this aircraft is built is commonly employed on transcontinental and shorter intercontinental missions within its approximately 3,100 nm performance envelope, serving corporate transport, private ownership movement, and on-demand charter tasks from its Seattle base. Maintenance considerations align with mid‑2000s airframe and HTF7000‑family engine upkeep cycles, with attention to life‑limited components, avionics upgrade paths, and scheduled engine program participation.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 occupies the light‑large-cabin, super‑mid market niche, offering high cruise speed and transcontinental range for eight passengers. Competing models in its era included aircraft such as the Cessna Citation X and certain Gulfstream/Gulfstream‑light variants, with buyer demand driven by a balance of cabin comfort, performance, and operating cost. For resale and maintenance, considerations specific to this airframe include its 2006 build year, serial 20092, the HTF7000‑family engines’ program status, and any documented avionics configuration such as a Collins Pro Line 21 fit or future upgrade needs.
