N31CA

The airframe bearing tail number N31CA is a 2004-build Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300, serial 20021, registered in the US. It is owned by HF SINCLAIR PAYROLL SERVICES INC, a corporation based in Dallas, TX, US, and is typically operated as a corporate executive transport. Registry and operator records indicate corporate ownership and US registration as the principal administrative details; valuation and public condition reports for this specific airframe are not published. The airframe’s manufacturing origin is Bombardier Inc. and its configuration and equipment reflect typical factory Challenger 300 fit for mid-size business operations.

The cabin of N31CA is outfitted in a typical two-crew plus eight-passenger double-club executive layout with a flat floor, while an optional three-place divan can be fitted in lieu of standard seating. Avionics fit for the airframe follows the common Challenger 300 factory or upgrade configuration, typically a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting advanced flight management and systems integration for crewed corporate missions. With a 3,100 nm range and cruise speed of 459 kts, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and regional executive routes from its operator base in Dallas, TX, performing point-to-point business travel, owner-operator missions, and on-demand corporate transport. Maintenance considerations align with twin-engine HTF7000-series engine programs and Challenger 300 airframe inspection cycles, reflecting the standard upkeep profile for mid-2000s business jets.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 family occupies the mid-size business jet niche, offering a combination of transcontinental range, comfortable eight-passenger executive seating, and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Powerplants from the Honeywell HTF7000 family deliver performance figures consistent with the platform’s mission set, while Pro Line 21 avionics remain a common and supportable fit for operators prioritizing classical integrated flight decks. For buyers and charter operators assessing examples like N31CA, key market considerations include engine program status, avionics upgrades, and interior refurbishment, which materially affect maintenance planning and resale prospects for a 2004-build Challenger 300.
