N442QC

This entry covers airframe N442QC, a 2017-built Bombardier Challenger operated as a corporate transport and held in trust. The airframe is a Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 650, manufacturer Bombardier Inc., serial number 6109, and is recorded with a United States registration. Ownership is vested in the trust BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, based in Salt Lake City, UT, US, and the aircraft carries an estimated market valuation of $21,000,000. The airframe is registered in the United States and presents as a late-model Challenger 650 with modern avionics and two high-bypass turbofan engines, reflecting typical condition descriptors for a 2017 corporate jet in trust ownership.

The interior of N442QC is fitted in a typical executive layout accommodating 9 passengers plus 2 crew with a cabin length of approximately 25 ft 7 in, width 7 ft 11 in, and height 6 ft, optimized for corporate and executive missions. Avionics are the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced suite, supporting modern navigation, flight management, and situational awareness capabilities for long-range business operations. With a maximum range of 4,000 nm and cruise speed near 424 kts, the airframe is suited to transcontinental and long overwater sectors frequently flown by corporate users based from the trustee’s location in Salt Lake City, UT, US. Maintenance considerations center on the twin General Electric CF34-3B engines and the avionics suite lifecycle, which drive routine heavy checks and systems updates consistent with a 2017 Challenger 650.

As a member of the Challenger 600-series family, the Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 650 represented here by N442QC occupies a mid-to-large cabin, long-range corporate transport niche characterized by balanced range and cabin comfort. The combination of a 4,000 nm range, 424 kts cruise and a 2017 build year supports continued demand in the corporate and charter market segments where predictable operating economics and cabin utility are prioritized. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its late-2010s build, established CF34 engine support network, and Pro Line 21 avionics, factors that underpin valuation around $21,000,000 and influence lifecycle operating costs and buyer interest.
