N25ZG

This entry documents airframe N25ZG, a Bombardier Challenger 604 built in 2002 with serial number 5536. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by A O SMITH CORP, a corporation based in Milwaukee, WI, US; this corporate ownership represents the primary recorded operator/owner association for the aircraft. The aircraft carries a reported market valuation of $8,995,000, and is certificated for up to 22 seats while typically outfitted for executive transport. No additional public registry transfers or notable incidents are published in the supplied data.

The cabin of this specific Challenger 604 is reported in a typical executive configuration for 10 passengers, while remaining certificated for up to 22 seats, reflecting flexibility between corporate transport and higher-density seating. Avionics fitted include the Collins Pro-Line 4 (six-tube) suite, supporting integrated navigation, communication and flight management capabilities typical of this model. Operationally, the airframe’s performance — including a 4,119 nm range and a cruise of 459 kts — positions it for long domestic and transcontinental missions under corporate operation from its Milwaukee base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe would align with Challenger 604 fleet practices, particularly attention to CF34-3B engine support and Pro-Line avionics lifecycle requirements.

The Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) occupies the midsize long-range corporate jet niche, valued for transcontinental range and cabin comfort. Competitors in the category include other midsize/large-cabin types offering similar range and passenger accommodations; buyer and charter demand typically prioritizes range, cabin size and avionics maturity — attributes present on this airframe. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe will reflect its 2002 manufacture date, CF34-3B engines, and the installed Collins Pro-Line 4 avionics, all factors that influence remaining service life, refurbishment needs and market positioning.
