The entry concentrates on the airframe's certified configuration and published performance and equipment data associated with this specific Challenger 604 hull.

This Challenger 604 airframe is commonly outfitted in a typical 10–12 place executive layout and is reported in listings as an 11-place configuration for this example, reflecting the frequent executive interior fit for the model. Avionics fit for the type is from the Rockwell/Collins Pro Line series, with the Pro Line 4 suite being a typical factory or fleet-standard installation on Challenger 604s; the airframe conforms to that common fit. Typical mission profiles for this platform, given the published 3,756 nm range and 459 kts cruise, include transcontinental and some transoceanic executive transport legs, operating to a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this airframe align with twin CF34-3B turbofan program requirements and business-jet executive interior upkeep practices.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 occupies a long-range, large-cabin business-jet niche characterized by robust twin CF34 powerplants and executive comfort for 10–12 passengers; this specific airframe, N444FM, reflects that mission capability with its 3,756 nm range and 459 kts cruise speed. The Challenger 604’s performance and cabin size make it suitable for corporate, private owner, and charter operations that demand extended range and higher cruise speeds. Resale and maintenance considerations for airframes of this vintage (built 1999) commonly center on avionics configuration updates, airframe fatigue inspections, and engine maintenance cycles appropriate to the General Electric CF34-3B engines and the aircraft’s utilization history.
