N212AR

This airframe, registered as N212AR, is a Canadair Challenger 601-3R (CL-600-2B16) manufactured by Canadair Ltd (Bombardier) in 1993, serial number 5136. The certificate and registration history list current ownership with AVIATION TWELVE LLC, a corporation based in Orlando, FL, US, which operates the airframe as a U.S.-registered fixed-wing multi-engine business jet. The aircraft is noted in records with a market valuation of $2,500,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and common retrofit history. No public record of major registry transfers or notable incidents is included in the supplied data.

The subject Challenger is typically fitted in a standard executive interior described as a forward galley and aft lav with a club/divan arrangement able to accommodate 8–12 passengers in executive comfort while retaining certification for higher seating densities up to 22 seats in some examples. Avionics fit on fleet examples is variable, with reported Pro Line and Pro Line 4 upgrades among possibilities; the supplied record notes that avionics configurations vary rather than specifying a factory-standard suite for this airframe. Typical missions for this airframe type and configuration include medium- to long-range business travel and charter operations within the continental U.S. and transcontinental trips, leveraging the 3,430 nm range and 424 kt cruise speed from an operator base in Orlando, Florida. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect common CF34-3A engine support and mid-life refurbishment paths typical for early-1990s Challengers.

The Challenger 601-3R occupies a niche as a large-cabin, medium-range business jet offering a balance of range and cabin volume compared with newer light and super-midsize models. Its competitors historically include early Gulfstream and Dassault Falcon series and later Bombardier Challenger variants; buyers and charter operators value cabin size and payload over the lowest operating cost. Market and resale considerations for a 1993 airframe emphasize engine life remaining, avionics upgrades (notably Pro Line series retrofits), and interior refurbishment; these factors drive valuations such as the listed $2,500,000.
