N495EC

The airframe bearing registration N495EC is a 2006-built Bombardier Challenger 300 (BD-100-1A10) with serial number 20131. It is held by EDWARDS CHALLENGER 300 LLC, a corporate owner based in Columbus, OH, US, and is registered in the US. The airframe’s documented valuation is $9,269,413, reflecting its mid-2000s build date, typical equipment level for the type and the corporate ownership model; no additional registry actions are published beyond the current ownership record. Conditioning and operator-specific fit-outs are reflected in the valuation but specific maintenance or damage history for this tail is not published.

The cabin of N495EC is fitted in a typical eight-passenger executive double-club layout with a flat floor, an enclosed lavatory and a forward galley; operator-specific fit-out is possible and commonly applied by corporate owners. Avionics for this airframe are consistent with the Challenger 300 baseline, typically a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, with later FMS and software upgrades commonly installed during mid-life avionics refreshes. Operated from its corporate base in Columbus, OH, US, the airframe is well suited to domestic and transcontinental missions within its roughly 3,100 nm range, matching common business-jet usage patterns for eight-seat executive transports. Routine maintenance considerations follow the Challenger 300 program, with OEM and Honeywell component support for the HTF7000-family engines.

The Bombardier Challenger 300 family occupies the light-large/cross-over business jet niche, offering transcontinental range with high cruise speed and a relatively spacious cabin for its class. Competing models include aircraft in the super-light to mid-size segments; demand typically comes from corporate fleets and fractional or charter operators seeking eight-seat executive capacity and 45,000 ft ceiling performance. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2006 airframe reflect typical mid-life component replacements, potential avionics FMS upgrades and market pricing aligned with the documented $9,269,413 valuation.
