N347FZ

This entry describes airframe N347FZ, a 2017-built Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350, serial number 20681, manufactured by Bombardier Inc. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by ZONES AIRCRAFT LEASING LLC (LLC, Bellevue, WA, US). Currently listed under U.S. registration with operator ties to its Bellevue-based lessor, the airframe carries a mid-market book valuation of $17,900,000 and reflects the typical condition and outfitting of late-production Challenger 350 examples. Notable registry entries are limited to its U.S. registration under tail N347FZ and recorded ownership by the named leasing company.

The cabin of N347FZ is fitted in a typical 8-place executive double-club layout with a forward galley and a belted aft lav seat option, configured for executive charter or corporate leasing missions. Avionics are installed as the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced (baseline), supporting integrated flight management, navigation and communications suited to high-utilization charter operations and demanding business schedules. With a transcontinental range of 3,200 nm and a cruise speed near 447 kts, the aircraft is employed for medium- to long-range point-to-point executive transport, regional shuttle missions and on-demand charter. Maintenance and operational planning are managed to meet the Challenger 350’s scheduled checks and the expectations of an aircraft owned by a Bellevue, WA–based leasing company.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350 occupies the light-medium super-midsize business jet niche, offering a combination of transcontinental range and cabin comfort competitive with other super-midsize types. Typical competitors in its class include late-model Gulfstream, Dassault Falcon and Embraer Legacy/Lineage derivatives that target corporate and charter purchasers seeking eight-passenger executive layouts. For a 2017 airframe like N347FZ, buyer and charter demand is influenced by avionics standardization (Pro Line 21 Advanced), engine commonality (Honeywell HTF7350) and the airframe’s mid-market valuation; resale considerations focus on maintenance history, avionics updates and interior refurbishment potential.
