N240MC

This airframe, registered as N240MC, is a Canadair CL-600 Challenger 600 built by Canadair Ltd (Bombardier) in 1982 with manufacturer serial number 1075. The aircraft is owned by N240MC LLC, a limited liability company based in Watertown, SD, US, and carries United States registration. The airframe appears in the light business jet sector with a recorded valuation of $990,000, reflecting its age, systems fit, and market position. Ownership has been held by the single listed LLC in Watertown, SD, with no other registry actions provided in the dataset.

The airframe is described with an extended-length executive cabin and is advertised in listing material as providing 14 executive seats in a specific forward and mid-cabin layout: a forward 2-place club, 4-place divans, and a 4-place conference group, although the registered seating is 13. Avionics fitted to this individual aircraft include Dual Universal UNS-1Ew WAAS/LPV, Dual Collins communications/navigation, Primus 400 weather radar, TCAS I, Honeywell Mark VII EGPWS, and Dual Collins TDR-90 Mode S, supporting typical executive transport and business charter operations. With a long-range capability of 2,909 nm and a cruise of 425 kts, typical mission profiles for this airframe would include transcontinental and regional international flights from its operator base in Watertown, SD, with systems and cabin arrangements suited to executive transport rather than dense airline-style seating. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would center on aging ALF-502 series engines and avionics lifecycle support consistent with its 1982 manufacture.

The Challenger 600 family occupies a market niche as a larger-cabin business jet with transcontinental range and comfortable executive interiors; this airframe’s extended cabin and avionics complement that role. Competing models at the time and in the used market include other late large-cabin business jets that offer similar range and cabin volume, with buyer demand focused on cabin condition, avionics upgrades, and engine maintenance history. Resale and operational considerations for N240MC include age-related refurbishment, potential avionics modernization beyond the present WAAS/LPV fit, and continued support for the ALF-502 series in evaluating life-limited components and overhaul economics.
