N228L

This entry describes airframe N228L, a 2008-built Bombardier business jet, model Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300, constructor serial number 20194. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by WHITE PLAINS AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Saratoga Springs, New York, which appears as the listed owner/operator on current documentation. There are no additional publicized registry actions or transfers noted for this specific airframe in the supplied data. Condition and valuation specifics are not published in the provided dataset.

The cabin of this Challenger 300 is fitted in a typical eight-place executive double-club layout with a forward galley and an aft lavatory and features a flat floor, consistent with long‑range business missions and executive transport. Avionics are provided by a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting modern navigation, communication, and flight-management capabilities for complex airspace and charter operations. With an operator/home base in Saratoga Springs, NY, the aircraft’s performance — including a 3,100 nm range and 459 kt cruise speed — suits transcontinental U.S. missions and nonstop flights to much of the Caribbean and parts of Europe under favorable winds. Routine maintenance considerations for this airframe would center on twin Honeywell AS907-series engines and Pro Line 21 avionics lifecycle items typical for a 2008 Challenger-class jet.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of transcontinental range (3,100 nm) and high cruise speed (459 kt) for small-cabin executive missions. Competing models in this performance bracket typically include entries from Gulfstream, Cessna Citation, and Embraer; buyer and charter demand historically favors aircraft with proven avionics suites like Pro Line 21 and reliable engine types such as the AS907 family. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2008 airframe focus on engine hours/overhaul status and avionics upgrades or databank currency, both of which materially affect marketability within the used business-jet sector.
