N357VJ

This entry documents airframe N357VJ, a 2015-built Bombardier Challenger 350 (BD-100-1A10) with serial number 20550. The aircraft is recorded as owned by Bank of Utah Trustee, a corporate owner based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and is registered in the US registry. The airframe carries a mid‑decade build date and a contemporary avionics fit, and its assessed market value at the time of record is $18,200,000. Ownership and registration are documented under the corporate trustee in Salt Lake City, reflecting a financial‑asset ownership model rather than an individual private operator.

The cabin of N357VJ is configured in a typical eight‑to‑ten passenger executive club layout with a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory; operator‑specific fitouts may vary. Avionics aboard this airframe are drawn from the Collins Pro Line family, specifically the Collins Pro Line 21 (advanced) suite common to Challenger 350 operators, supporting modern flight management and situational awareness. With a 3,200 nm range and cruise near 459 kts, the airframe is suited to transcontinental U.S. missions and medium‑haul international hops from its Salt Lake City base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe focus on scheduled events for the twin HTF7350 engines and Pro Line 21 avionics support, consistent with corporate trustee ownership where third‑party operators or charter management frequently handle day‑to‑day upkeep.

The Bombardier Challenger 350 family occupies a light‑large business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability, high cruise speed, and a 45,000 ft ceiling that accommodates efficient routing above commercial traffic. Typical competitors include mid‑size and super‑midsize types offering similar range and cabin comfort; demand in buyer and charter markets favors well‑maintained examples with modern avionics like Pro Line 21. For resale and maintenance economics, the 2015 build year and a documented value of $18,200,000 position N357VJ as a competitively priced, relatively young asset within the Challenger 350 fleet, with ongoing engine shop visits and avionics lifecycle management being principal cost drivers.
