Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N509FX, is a 2023-built Bombardier Challenger 3500 (BD-100-1A10) with manufacturer serial number 20953. The aircraft is owned by LAPORTE ANDREA B and is listed as an individual (co-owned) operator based in Cleveland, OH, US, reflecting its U.S. registration. Built by Bombardier Inc., the airframe appears in recent civil registers with a market valuation of $25,900,000 and no public record of major incident history in the supplied data. Maintenance and valuation notes reflect a late-production Challenger 3500 example with contemporary avionics and a typical executive interior condition for a 2023 delivery.
The subject aircraft is fitted in a typical eight‑place executive configuration; the cabin can be configured with a forward galley and an aft lavatory depending on customer fit. Avionics are provided as an advanced flight deck with autothrottle and a manufacturer-specified advanced avionics suite incorporating four large displays, with optional HUD and EVS capability. Operationally the Challenger 3500 is used for medium- to long-range executive transport and business travel; with a 3,400 nm range and 442 kt cruise speed it supports transcontinental U.S. and transatlantic-lite missions from its Cleveland home base. As a relatively new 2023 airframe, routine OEM-recommended maintenance and avionics software/option updates are the principal ongoing considerations.
The Bombardier Challenger 3500 (BD-100-1A10) occupies the super‑midsize business jet niche, offering a combination of range, cabin comfort and modern avionics for owner-operators and charter operators. Competing types in this segment include late-model Gulfstream G280, Embraer Praetor series and Citation X variants, with buyer demand driven by cabin size, range and avionics sophistication. Resale considerations for this airframe are favorable given a 2023 build date, contemporary avionics package and documented ownership in the U.S.; however, operators will factor in Honeywell HTF7350 engine maintenance programs and avionics option sets when assessing lifecycle costs.
