N349CR

This entry covers airframe N349CR, a Canadair CL-600-2A12 Challenger 601 built in 1987 with manufacturer serial number 3049. The airframe was produced by Canadair Ltd (Bombardier Aerospace) and is recorded as owned by Aviation Resource Group Inc, a corporation based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US, operating the type from that location. The aircraft carries a US registration and has an assessed market value of $1,400,000, reflecting its age and configuration. Documented ownership and registry entries center on the corporate operator in Fort Lauderdale; no other ownership transfers are listed in the supplied data.

As registered to Aviation Resource Group Inc of Fort Lauderdale, N349CR is operated from a South Florida base and configured to accommodate 22 seats, suggesting a high-density executive transport or corporate shuttle layout rather than single-family VIP fit. The airframe's twin General Electric CF34-1A powerplants provide the performance needed for typical medium- to long-range missions within its 3,350 nm range and cruise at approximately 442 kts, making it suitable for transcontinental and certain international hops from its operator base. Specific avionics fit and interior appointments for this airframe are not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations center on legacy CF34-1A support and mid-life airframe systems upkeep consistent with a 1987 model.

The Canadair CL-600-2A12 Challenger 601 family occupies a performance niche as a large-cabin, long-range business jet introduced in the 1980s; its combination of range (3,350 nm) and a 41,000 ft ceiling positions it against contemporaries in the midsize-to-large business jet sector. Competing types historically include later-model Challengers and similar large-cabin jets from other manufacturers. Given the aircraft's 1987 build year and assessed value of $1,400,000, buyers and charter operators consider factors such as parts availability for CF34-1A engines, corrosion and structural inspections, and refurbishment costs when assessing resale or continued commercial use.
