N220LC

This entry covers airframe N220LC, a production Challenger in the Canadair CL-600-2B16 (Challenger 601 series) line built in 1987 with manufacturer serial 5006. The airframe was manufactured by Canadair Ltd and is owned by CHALLENGER 601 INC (a corporation based in Wilmington, DE, US). The aircraft carries a US registration and, as recorded, has an estimated market value of $2,100,000. No additional public registry actions or multiple-operator transfer history are published for this specific tail.

The airframe is certified for 22 seats, though common executive layouts for the Challenger 601 series reduce that to typical 9–12 passenger executive configurations; this specific certificate reflects the maximum certified capacity. With a cruise speed of 424 kts and an intercontinental-capable range of 3,380 nm, the airframe is suited to long-range business and corporate transport missions from its operator base in Wilmington, DE, US. The powerplant fit of twin GE CF34 turbofans, each rated at 9,140 lbf, supports a service ceiling of 41,000 ft, enabling efficient high-altitude cruise profiles. Avionics fit and specific interior fitment for this hull are not published in the provided data.

The Canadair CL-600-2B16 (Challenger 601 series) occupies a long-range, twin-turbofan business jet niche characterized by transcontinental capability and robust high-altitude cruise. With its combination of roughly 3,380 nm range, 424 kt cruise, and a certified 22-seat cabin, the type remains competitive for large-cabin corporate missions despite airframes of this vintage. At a recorded value of $2,100,000 for this 1987 serial 5006 airframe, resale and maintenance considerations will typically reflect age-related inspections, potential avionics upgrades, and continuing engine support for the GE CF34 family. Buyer demand for an airframe like N220LC will hinge on condition, completion standard, and documented maintenance history.
