N426PF

This entry covers the specific airframe registered as N426PF, a Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 manufactured by Bombardier Inc. in 2002, serial number 5547. The airframe is recorded as owned by FLORIDA CHALLENGER ACQUISITION LLC, a corporation based in Clearwater, FL, US; the corporate ownership suggests a US-based operator/support chain and continuity of corporate registry. The aircraft carries US registration and an assessed market valuation of $6,246,324, reflecting its configuration and vintage within the fleet.

The cabin of N426PF is arranged as a ten-passenger extended layout featuring a forward four-place club, a forward jump seat, and a mid/after 2+4 berthable sofa arrangement, with forward and aft monitors and a forward galley, supporting both executive transport and light overnight capability. Avionics are installed as a Collins Pro Line 4 suite incorporating triple FMS-6000 units, triple Litton IRS, TCAS II with change 7.1, and Mark V EGPWS, a package suited to complex IFR operations and long-range business missions. With a 4,000 nm range and a cruise speed of 425 kts, mission profiles for this airframe typically include transcontinental and trans-Gulf flights operated from its owner’s Clearwater, FL base; maintenance considerations will follow Bombardier Challenger 600-series schedules and CF34-3B engine support cycles. The configuration supports both charter and corporate transport roles under a corporate ownership model.

The Challenger 604 family occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, combining transcontinental range with a relatively spacious cabin. Competitors in similar mission roles include other large-cabin jets offering 3,500–4,500 nm capability; buyer and charter demand often favors well-equipped avionics and extended cabin interiors such as this airframe’s layout. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2002 airframe center on CF34-3B engine program status, Pro Line 4 avionics support, and the aircraft’s recorded valuation of $6,246,324, all factors that influence lifecycle operating costs and marketability.
