N171AM

This airframe, bearing tail number N171AM, is a 2010-built Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 605, serial 5858, manufactured by Bombardier Inc. The aircraft is registered in the US and is owned by AM/MM 605 LLC of Fort Lauderdale, FL. Since delivery the airframe has been operated under corporate/LLC ownership and maintained to business-aviation standards consistent with Challenger 605 operators. Current market valuation for this specific airframe is estimated at $10,500,000, reflecting its build year and configured condition.

The cabin is fitted in a typical executive two-zone layout certified for up to 22 seats but ordinarily arranged for 10–12 passengers, supporting both corporate transport and charter flexibility. Avionics aboard this example conform to the Challenger 605 norm, typically the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, providing integrated flight management, navigation, and communications capabilities. With a long-range capability of 3,732 nm and a high-speed cruise near 459 kts, the airframe is suited to transcontinental missions and high-utilization corporate schedules operated from its Fort Lauderdale base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with engine and airframe items for GE CF34-3B-powered Challengers and the logistical support channels common to Bombardier 600-series fleets.

The Bombardier Challenger 605 occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental range and a high cabin comfort standard relative to mid-size competitors. Typical competitors include later-model large-cabin jets that trade payload and range for newer avionics or lower operating cost; the Challenger 605 remains attractive for buyers valuing cabin volume and established support networks. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2010 airframe center on CF34-3B engine status, Pro Line 21 avionics lifecycle, and overall time-on-airframe versus market demand, which together inform valuations such as the $10,500,000 estimate for this specific aircraft.
