N1CU

This airframe, registered as N1CU, is a 2011-built Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 605 with manufacturer serial number 5890. The airframe is owned by CRIMSON VOYAGER LLC, an LLC based in Menlo Park, CA, US, and is registered in the US registry. The FAA record for this Challenger 605 notes a certified seating capacity of 22 seats, and the example carries a market valuation recorded at $12,000,000; these registry and valuation entries are the principal public highlights for this specific airframe. No additional public registry transfer history or operator changes are included beyond the listed ownership.

This Challenger 605 is typically fitted internally in a conventional executive arrangement referenced as a typical 8–12 passenger layout, while the FAA certificate lists a 22-seat capacity; the precise operator interior fit may therefore vary. The common avionics fit for this model and this airframe is the Collins Pro Line 21, a system widely used for advanced flight management and avionics situational awareness in the Challenger 605 fleet. With a long-range capability of 4,000 nm and cruise speed near 459 kts, typical missions for this airframe include transcontinental and transoceanic executive transport from its owner’s home base in Menlo Park, CA, US. Maintenance considerations follow the Challenger 600-series schedules for twin CF34-3B engines and Pro Line 21 avionics common to the fleet; specific maintenance records are not published here.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 605 occupies the large-cabin, mid- to long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental performance and a high cruise speed relative to peers. Competing models in this performance and cabin class typically include later Challenger variants and comparable large-cabin business jets; buyer and charter demand tends to focus on cabin size, range, and avionics fit such as the Collins Pro Line 21. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on CF34-3B engine condition and avionics upgrades; the recorded valuation of $12,000,000 reflects market positioning for a 2011 Challenger 605 with the specified equipment set.
