N417NL

This entry covers airframe N417NL, a Bombardier-built business jet completed in 2011 with manufacturer serial number 8110. The aircraft is a factory-converted Bombardier CL-600-2B19 Challenger 850 and is registered in US registry. Ownership is held by the corporate trustee BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, located in Salt Lake City, UT; this trustee ownership indicates corporate control rather than an individual operator. Recent valuation records list the aircraft at $9,800,000, reflecting its configuration and market position for late-model Challenger 850s.

The airframe is commonly operated in a VIP executive role and on the US registry is typically based from the owner’s location in Salt Lake City, UT, or operated on charter/management where required. The cabin follows a typical VIP three-zone executive layout with an approximate 12–16 seat capability and the common 14-seat configuration featuring a forward galley and aft lavatory; this layout supports transcontinental missions within the aircraft’s roughly 3,096 nm range. Avionics fit is the Collins Pro Line 4 suite, a frequent choice for CL-600/CRJ conversions, which supports advanced flight management and regional operations. Maintenance considerations for this individual aircraft will reflect the twin CF34-3B1 turbofan support infrastructure and the conversion-specific cabin systems of the Challenger 850 platform.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B19 Challenger 850 occupies a niche between large-cabin corporate types and smaller light jets, offering transcontinental range and a high-cruise speed of 442 kts. Competing models include larger-configured business-class regional jets and some long-range heavy business jets depending on mission requirements. Buyer and charter demand generally favors the Challenger 850 for group transport and executive shuttle roles; resale and maintenance valuations for this serial and year are influenced by the CF34 engine support, Collins Pro Line 4 avionics, and the documented VIP cabin configuration.
