This specific Challenger 650 is configured in a typical nine-passenger executive layout with two flight crew in a fractional/operator configuration, while the registration and seating data indicate a certified capacity of 22 seats. The avionics fit for this airframe is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 (Pro Line 21 Advanced) suite, supporting the operational standards expected for high-utilization fractional or charter operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe, given its 4,000 nm range and 424 kt cruise speed, emphasize medium- to long-range point-to-point executive transport under the operator’s network. Maintenance considerations for this individual aircraft follow the airframe’s standard twin-engine, fixed-wing multi-engine category and the engine model’s established maintenance intervals; specific maintenance history is not published.

This airframe belongs to the Bombardier Challenger 650 family, represented here as the Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 650, which in this instance combines transcontinental range and high cruise speed with a 41,000 ft ceiling to support efficient executive missions. The twin GE CF34-3B MTO engines producing 9,220 lbf each provide the propulsion baseline for the platform as reflected in this airframe’s specifications. Ownership by a corporate fractional operator aligns the aircraft with high-utilization operational profiles and attendant fleet maintenance practices. Resale or valuation specifics for this serial number are not published.
