N1ES

This entry covers airframe N1ES, a Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 5482. The airframe is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by GG JET LLC; available data shows this entity as the current owner. The type certificate and registry list the aircraft in a multi-engine fixed-wing category and note a certificated seating layout for 22 passengers while the typical executive fit commonly installed is for 10. The aircraft's market valuation based on supplied data is $11,888,840, which provides a snapshot of condition and value for this specific airframe.

The airframe typically carries a standard executive cabin layout configured for ten passengers in common practice, though the registry shows it certificated for 22 seats; this duality reflects how Challenger 604s are commonly reconfigured between executive and higher-density layouts. Avionics equipment is a common fit of the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 suite on this model, aligning the aircraft with conventional cruise, navigation, and communications capabilities expected of its class. Operational use for this specific airframe would typically include medium- to long-range corporate missions enabled by a 4,000 nm range and sustained cruise of 459 kts, with operations up to an altitude of 41,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this airframe follow CF34-series engine protocols and Challenger 604 airframe inspection cycles as implied by its equipment and configuration.

The Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) represented by N1ES occupies the super-midsize corporate jet niche, offering long-range capability and transcontinental performance. In the marketplace it competes with contemporaries that balance cabin comfort and range, and demand typically arises from corporate operators and charter services seeking reliable, long-range executive transports. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2001 build year, CF34-3B engines, and avionics fit; these factors influence lifecycle maintenance costs and marketability relative to newer-generation competitors.
