N353PC

This airframe, registered as N353PC, is a 2005-build Bombardier Challenger series business jet, serial number 20053, manufactured by Bombardier Inc. The aircraft is recorded as owned by QUANTUM AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Tampa, FL, US, which serves as the operator/home base for the platform. The airframe carries U.S. registration and is valued at $8,900,000 in available summaries; no extraordinary registry actions or incidents are published for this specific tail. Maintenance and valuation notes reflect a mid-2000s-build Challenger 300 airframe in corporate ownership, with condition and market value tied to common fleet variables such as avionics fit and engine cycles.

The cabin of this specific Challenger 300 is described in standard operator trim as a typical 8-place executive double-club configuration with a belted lavatory; operator layouts may vary but this airframe is equipped to support executive transport missions. Avionics are fitted with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting en route and terminal navigation, flight management, and integrated communications typical of mid‑2000s corporate turbofan jets. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft from its Tampa base include medium‑haul point‑to‑point corporate and charter operations across continental U.S. sectors and trans‑Caribbean routes within its 3,100 nm range. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with standard Challenger 300 practices, focusing on Honeywell AS907 engine monitoring, Pro Line 21 avionics lifecycle items, and cabin reconfiguration options for corporate owners.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 occupies the light‑large business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with a 459 kt cruise and a 45,000 ft ceiling. In its market segment it competes with entry to mid‑size jets that balance speed, range, and cabin comfort; competing types often include contemporaneous offerings from other manufacturers with similar mission capability. Buyer and charter demand for this airframe type tends to favor owners seeking a proven airframe with modern avionics for the era, while resale and maintenance considerations hinge on engine cycles, Pro Line 21 upgrades or modifications, and cabin refurbishment status.
