N360

This airframe, bearing federal registration N360, is a 1990-built example of the Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A with manufacturer serial number 5068. The airframe is registered in the US and carries a market valuation of $2,300,000, reflecting its age and installed systems. Detailed ownership timeline and operator history are not published for this specific airframe. Registry entries and condition highlights emphasize a typical late-production Challenger 601-3A life cycle: aging airframe economics with value driven by avionics retrofits and maintenance status.

The cabin in this airframe is fitted in a typical 8–12-place executive layout with a forward galley, aft lavatory, and internal baggage compartment, though the aircraft is certificated for 22 seats in other configurations. Avionics fit varies by retrofit but commonly includes Collins or Honeywell integrated Pro-Line/Primus-class suites. With a design range of 3,430 nm and cruise speeds around 442 kts, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and medium long-range executive missions from U.S.-based operators; mission profiles typically include charter operations, corporate transport, and repositioning flights. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on CF34-3A engine cycles and avionics retrofit history, both of which materially affect dispatch reliability and residual value.

The Challenger 601-3A occupies the large-cabin, medium long-range business jet niche, valued for its roomy cabin and solid performance at cruise speeds near 442 kts and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models in this segment include later-generation Bombardier Challengers and large-cabin offerings from Gulfstream and Dassault; buyer and charter demand for 1990-vintage 601-3A airframes is driven largely by acquisition price and upgrade potential. Key resale and upkeep considerations for this specific serial involve age-related structural and interior refurbishment, CF34-3A life-limited component status, and the extent of avionics modernization performed during ownership, all of which influence the noted $2,300,000 valuation.
