N265SJ

This entry documents the specific Bombardier Challenger 300 airframe bearing tail number N265SJ, a 2010 production example with serial number 20308 built by Bombardier Inc.. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by N529TM LLC, an LLC based in Fairfax, VA, US; the registration and ownership are notable as the primary recorded custodial information for this aircraft. Valuation records list the airframe at $12,500,000, reflecting market assumptions for a 2010 Challenger 300 in typical operational condition. No additional historic operator changes or major registry events are published beyond the current LLC ownership.

The airframe is equipped with a typical eight-place executive interior arranged in a double-club configuration on a flat floor, supporting executive transport missions and short-to-medium long-range business trips. Typical operational profiles for this aircraft include transcontinental and regional point-to-point flights within the 3,100 nm range, leveraging the aircraft’s cruise speed of 459 kts and service ceiling of 45,000 ft for efficient routing and favorable fuel/altitude performance. As an LLC-operated asset based out of Fairfax, VA, the aircraft is commonly suited to owner-flown or professionally operated executive transport, with maintenance considerations centered on age-related cycle inspections for a 2010 airframe and standard Honeywell AS907-1-1A engine support. No special aftermarket modifications or unique interior refurbishments are published for this serial.

The airframe is a member of the Bombardier Challenger 300 (BD-100-1A10) family, which occupies the super-midsize light business jet niche by offering transcontinental range paired with an eight-passenger executive cabin. Competing models in the same market segment include entries from Gulfstream, Dassault, and Embraer that trade off cabin volume, range, and cruise speed; the Challenger 300 is noted for balance of range and operating economics. For buyers and charter operators, maintenance and resale considerations tied to a 2010 serial like 20308 typically focus on engine program status for the Honeywell AS907-1-1A units and the recentness of interior and avionics upgrades, factors that materially affect the listed $12,500,000 valuation.
