N1897A

This airframe, registered as N1897A, is a 2011-built Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 with serial number 20319. The aircraft is manufactured by Bombardier Aerospace (Bombardier Inc.) and is listed on the U.S. registry under corporate ownership by 1897 LLC, a corporation based in Chicago, IL, US. The airframe carries a standard corporate registration (US) and its assessed market value is $10,933,664. Owned by 1897 LLC and operating from its Chicago base, the aircraft’s recorded status emphasizes corporate operation and typical executive utilization consistent with its configuration and valuation.

The airframe is fitted with an 8-passenger executive layout (standard for Challenger 300 corporate fit), reflecting typical short- to mid-range business missions and executive transport roles. With a certified ceiling of 45,000 ft and a cruise speed of 459 kts, the aircraft is suited to fast, transcontinental flights within its 3,100 nm range capability. Operated out of Chicago by its corporate owner, routine operations would prioritize executive comfort and mission flexibility consistent with the Challenger 300’s standard cabin arrangement. Maintenance considerations for this specific ship include the twin Honeywell HTF7000 (AS907-1-1A) engines, each rated at 6,944 lbf, which define the propulsion and common support items for the type.

As a Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 airframe, serial 20319 exemplifies the model’s mid-size, fixed-wing multi-engine category positioning, combining a roughly 3,100 nm range and 459 kts cruise for business and corporate missions. The aircraft’s performance envelope—ceiling to 45,000 ft and executive 8-seat cabin—targets buyers and operators seeking transcontinental capability without the scale of larger business jets. The listed value of $10,933,664 for this 2011 airframe factors into resale and maintenance planning, with major considerations driven by the twin Honeywell HTF7000 engines and the corporate-configured interior.
