The cabin of this Challenger 604 airframe is configured in a typical executive two‑zone layout, commonly a 10–12 passenger club/sofa arrangement with a forward galley and an aft lavatory; baggage capacity is 115 cu ft. Avionics fit for the type on this airframe is the Collins Pro Line 4 suite, the standard fit across the 604 fleet and appropriate for long-range business missions. With a maximum range of 4,000 nm and a cruise speed near 459 kts, operational profiles for N340AK are consistent with transcontinental and transoceanic executive transport, corporate shuttle, or charter roles operated from its home base in North Canton, OH, US. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific aircraft reflect its twin CF34-3B engines and the Challenger 604 maintenance commonality inherent to the model.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 occupies a long-range, heavy‑small‑jet niche characterized by comfortable two‑zone cabins and transcontinental capability, exemplified by this airframe’s 4,000 nm range and 22-seat certification potential. The combination of two CF34-3B engines rated at 8,729 lbf each and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft supports high‑speed, high‑altitude cruise for executive operations. Market and resale considerations for N340AK are influenced by its 1999 build year, serial 5405, the installed Collins Pro Line 4 avionics, and the documented valuation of $5,417,443, which collectively inform buyer demand and maintenance planning for this Challenger 604 example.
