N320TM

This entry covers the individual airframe N320TM, a Canadair-built business jet completed in 1995 with manufacturer serial number 5175. The airframe is a Canadair CL-600-2B16 (Challenger 601-3R) produced by Canadair Ltd (Bombardier), and it is registered in the US. Ownership is recorded to V FEE CHALLENGER AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Sunny Isles Beach, FL, US, which represents the primary operator/registrant on the civil register. The airframe’s civilian valuation is listed at $2,200,000, reflecting its age, configuration and typical market positioning for late-model 601-3R examples.

The cabin on this airframe is typically arranged in a 9–11 passenger executive layout with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, while owner-specific configurations can vary. Avionics fit on typical 601-3R installations for this airframe is the Honeywell SPZ-8000, which supports standard regional and international business-jet operations. With a long-range capability of 3,446 nm and a cruise of 425 kts, mission profiles usually include transcontinental and near-transoceanic flights for corporate or charter use. Maintenance planning for the airframe will reflect the twin GE CF34-3A1 engines and Challenger-series structural/avionics service bulletins applicable to a 1995 build; any ownership transfers or registry updates would be recorded against N320TM under its US registration.

The CL-600-2B16 (Challenger 601-3R) occupies a performance niche balancing transcontinental range and sizable cabin capacity for its era, exemplified here by N320TM’s combination of 22 certified seats (typical executive fit 9–11) and a 41,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in the used market include earlier large-cabin business jets from the same era that offer similar range/cruise profiles but differ on operating economics and avionics baseline. Buyer and charter demand for 601-3R examples tends to hinge on updated avionics and engine maintenance status; the stated $2,200,000 value for this airframe will reflect condition, maintenance records and any avionics or interior refurbishments. Resale considerations often prioritize CF34 engine life status and documented upgrades to systems such as the Honeywell SPZ-8000 fit.
