N275MT

This article describes airframe N275MT, a Canadair-built Bombardier Challenger 601-3A completed in 1983 with serial number 3007. The airframe is currently registered in the US and is owned by GAZILLION AIR LLC, an LLC based in Chapin, SC, US; the registration and ownership record indicate this operator as the immediate custodian. The aircraft is a two-engined, large-cabin business jet that retains its original manufacture pedigree from Canadair Ltd. and reflects a market valuation listed at $2,300,000. Routine registry and valuation notes point to an airframe maintained to executive standards consistent with its nine-passenger layout and avionics suite.

The cabin is configured in a nine-passenger executive layout with a full forward galley and an aft lavatory, providing a typical corporate transport environment for short- to mid-range missions. Avionics fitted to this airframe include Universal EFI-890R displays, Universal Vision-1 SVS, dual Universal UNS-1Ew FMS units (WAAS/LPV), a Honeywell SPZ-600 autopilot, Primus 880 weather radar, Honeywell TCAS II Change 7.1, and Honeywell Mk VII EGPWS, supporting precision navigation and enhanced situational awareness. Typical operations for N275MT would emphasize transcontinental and offshore routing within its 3,430 nm range and cruise speed of 442 kts, often flown from its operator base in Chapin, SC to business centers requiring large-cabin comfort. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe focus on CF34-3A engine support and avionics integrity for WAAS/LPV capability.

The Bombardier Challenger 601-3A sits in the large-cabin, long-range business jet category and competes against contemporaries that offer similar transcontinental capability, such as later Challenger variants and some wide-cabin offerings from Gulfstream and Dassault. With twin General Electric CF34-3A units producing 9,140 lbf each, the type balances fuel-efficient turbofan performance with robust climb and cruise capability to FL410. Buyers and charter operators value the Challenger 601 family for cabin volume and reliability, but market considerations for this 1983 airframe include age-related maintenance, potential avionics refresh cycles despite an advanced installed suite, and resale sensitivity tied to comprehensive logs and condition—factors reflected in the listed $2,300,000 valuation.
