N28BQ

This entry documents airframe N28BQ, a 1999-built Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 with manufacturer's serial number 5433, constructed by Bombardier Inc.. The aircraft is recorded as owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporation based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, and carries a US registration. Valuation and condition highlights for this specific airframe indicate an assessed market value of $5,000,000; its status as a trust-owned asset has been a notable point in its ownership history.

The cabin of N28BQ is fitted in a typical 10-place executive layout, reflecting the common configuration for this airframe while noting that CL-600-2B16 aircraft commonly accommodate 10–12 passengers in executive fittings and can be reconfigured to larger capacities (up to 19/22 seats maximum) in other layouts. Avionics are installed in a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 fit, identified as a common configuration on this type and noted as upgradeable. Based on its certified range of 3,756 nm and cruise speed of 459 kts, operational missions for this airframe align with long-range executive transport from its owner’s base in North Salt Lake, UT, US, where trust-based operation and centralized maintenance planning are plausible considerations for continued serviceability.

The airframe, a Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604, sits in a performance niche characterized by transcontinental range, high cruise speed, and a 41,000 ft service ceiling as demonstrated by this specific example. With twin GE CF34-3B engines rated at 9,220 lbf each and a documented value of $5,000,000, maintenance planning, avionics upgrade potential, and reconfiguration options are central resale and operational considerations for owners and operators of this airframe. The aircraft’s trust ownership and US registration are relevant factors in its market positioning and regulatory oversight.
