N302KC

This entry covers airframe N302KC, a Bombardier Challenger 300 (BD-100-1A10) built in 2013 with serial number 20389. The airframe is owned by KROGER CO, a Cincinnati, Ohio–based corporation, and is registered in the United States. The aircraft’s documented status reflects corporate operation from Cincinnati and routine registry stewardship consistent with corporate flight departments; its market valuation is listed at $11,000,000, indicating a mid-life appraisal for this model.

The airframe is outfitted in a typical eight‑place executive layout with a forward galley and an aft lavatory; the interior commonly features forward club seating plus a divan for the eight‑seat configuration. Avionics are a typical installation of the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting airline‑grade navigation, surveillance and flight management capabilities suited to corporate missions. Operationally the aircraft’s 3,100 nm range and 459 kt cruise speed align it with transcontinental and near‑international business travel profiles from the operator’s Cincinnati base. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific airframe would follow corporate program cycles and Honeywell HTF7000 family maintenance schedules, with routine inspections and system checks to support frequent point‑to‑point executive usage.

The Bombardier Challenger 300 (BD-100-1A10) occupies the super‑midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of range, cabin comfort and runway performance for corporate operators. Competing models in its class include late‑model entries from Gulfstream and Dassault as well as the Citation X family, with buyer demand driven by fuel efficiency, cabin size and avionics modernization—areas where Pro Line 21 and HTF7000 engines remain relevant. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 2013 build year and serial 20389, where life‑limited components, engine cycles and avionics updates will influence marketability relative to younger or retrofitted competitors.
