N45WL

This entry documents airframe N45WL, a Canadair CL-600-2A12 (Challenger 601-1A) completed in 1983 with manufacturer serial number 3004. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in North Salt Lake, UT, US. As a 1983-built Challenger 601-1A, the airframe is commonly operated from regional bases and, per the most recent valuation data, is assessed at $3,000,000. Registry activity of note includes corporate ownership and trustee management consistent with asset-holding and charter/lease positioning.

The cabin of this Challenger 601-1A is configured for 22 seats, aligning the airframe with higher-capacity corporate shuttle or high-density charter missions rather than typical lower-capacity business layouts. With a cruise speed of 424 kts and range of 3,430 nm, typical routes for N45WL would include transcontinental U.S. sectors and medium-haul international flights from its North Salt Lake base. Specific avionics fit and bespoke interior amenities for this serial are not published in the provided data; maintenance considerations focus on service and life-cycle status for the twin General Electric CF34-3A engines. The aircraft’s trustee ownership structure suggests operation under managed or commercial charter arrangements rather than private single-owner use.

The Canadair CL-600-2A12 (Challenger 601-1A) occupies the medium-range, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet niche with a certified ceiling of 41,000 ft and twin CF34 turbofan powerplants producing 9,140 lbf each. Introduced by Canadair and later supported by Bombardier, the model competes historically with other late-1970s/1980s medium long-range business jets for corporate shuttle and charter demand. For a 1983 airframe like N45WL, key resale and maintenance considerations include aging-jet systems, engine life-cycle and overhaul status, and market demand for high-seat corporate shuttles, all factors reflected in its assessed value.
