N469ED

The airframe bearing registration N469ED is a 2006-built Bombardier Challenger 605, identified as Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 605 with serial number 5746. Manufactured by Bombardier Inc., this airframe is owned by EJD AIR III LLC, a corporation based in Memphis, TN, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s records indicate standard corporate operation from its Memphis base and ownership under a single corporate entity, with an estimated market valuation of $12,000,000 reflecting its 2006 manufacture and installed systems.

This Challenger 605 is fitted with a typical two-zone executive cabin layout and is commonly configured for 9–12 passengers while being certified for up to 22 seats, offering flexibility between high-comfort corporate missions and higher-density seating when required. Avionics are the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, supporting modern IFR navigation and common corporate mission avionics needs. Typical missions for this airframe are long-range intercontinental or transcontinental executive flights enabled by a 4,045 nm range and cruise speeds near 470 kts, operating from its Memphis, TN base under corporate registry. Routine maintenance considerations follow Bombardier Challenger 600-series schedules and the CF34-3B engine program requirements, with cabin and avionics service aligned to executive operator standards.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 605 sits in the super-midsize business jet category, offering a blend of transcontinental range, passenger comfort, and runway performance that appeals to corporate owners and charter operators. Competing aircraft typically include other super-midsize models offering similar range and cabin flexibility; resale and maintenance considerations for this 2006 airframe center on calendar and cycle-based inspections, avionics currency, and CF34-3B engine time, all factors implicated in its $12,000,000 valuation. Operators value the Pro Line 21 avionics and two-zone cabin for mixed mission profiles, while buyers assess total ownership cost against age, configuration, and maintenance history.
