Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N511DD, is a Canadair-built business jet completed in 1995 with manufacturer serial number 5187. The airframe is a Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3R originally produced by Canadair Ltd and is recorded on the U.S. registry (US) under ownership of DESERT AVIATION PARTNERS LLC, based in Anchorage, AK, US. The airframe's documented ownership by DESERT AVIATION PARTNERS LLC is the principal notable registry entry and identifies Anchorage as its usual operator/home base; maintenance history and specific valuation details are not published in the supplied data. The aircraft carries an integrated avionics suite and a 12-passenger executive interior as documented in a 2009 Duncan Aviation reference.
The cabin is fitted in a 12-passenger executive layout featuring a forward four-place club, a four-place divan opposite a four-place conference configuration as recorded by Duncan Aviation in 2009, while the aircraft retains a certificated seating capacity of 22. Avionics are described as an integrated Honeywell suite with a Honeywell SPZ-8000 EFIS fit, supporting modern flight deck operational capability for the type. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include long-range executive transport across domestic and transborder sectors from its Anchorage base, leveraging a maximum range of 3,585 nm and cruise speed around 460 kts. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow Challenger 601-3R scheduled heavy checks and engine shop visits for the twin GE CF34-3A1 engines.
The Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3R sits in the large-cabin, transcontinental business jet niche, offering long-range capability and a spacious cabin for up to a 12-passenger executive fit while retaining a certified capacity of 22. Competing models in its era and mission class include later Gulfstream and Bombardier Challenger derivatives as well as large-cabin Bombardier and Gulfstream used-cabin offerings; buyers typically value the Challenger 601-3R for cabin volume and range. Resale and maintenance considerations emphasize airframe and engine cycle history for the GE CF34-3A1 engines and the condition of the Honeywell SPZ-8000 EFIS-equipped flight deck when assessing market demand.
