N246JL

This entry covers airframe N246JL, a Canadair CL-600-1A11 Challenger 600 built by Canadair Ltd in 1992 with manufacturer serial number 1046. The aircraft is owned by BISON AIRCRAFT HOLDINGS LLC of Anchorage, AK, US, an LLC listed as the registered owner and operator/home base in Anchorage, with no other ownership transfers published in the supplied data. Notable registry actions for this airframe are limited to its U.S. registration status and an assessed market value of $1,200,000, reflecting its age and configuration within the secondary market for early-model Challenger 600-series jets.

This specific Challenger 600, N246JL, is fitted in a 13-passenger executive layout (typical for CL-600-1A11) and is configured for executive transport missions out of its Anchorage base. Typical operations for the aircraft type and this registration would include medium- to long-range corporate flights, charter services, and positional ferry legs within North America up to its published range of 2,909 nm. Avionics fit and specific onboard amenities for this airframe are not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations are driven by the twin ALF-502 engines and the type’s age, which influence inspection cycles and component life limits. The aircraft’s U.S. registration supports civil operations under U.S. regulatory oversight from its Anchorage operator.

The Canadair CL-600-1A11 Challenger 600 is a wide-fuselage business jet family member positioned for transcontinental missions with a high single-flight comfort capacity reflected by the 13-seat executive cabin. Its direct competitors historically include other large-cabin business jets of the late 1970s–1990s era, with market demand concentrated among operators seeking robust range and cabin volume rather than the latest avionics or fuel efficiency. For N246JL, resale and maintenance considerations are influenced by its 1992 build year, ALF-502 propulsion requiring specialized support, and the mid-market valuation of approximately $1,200,000.
