N512FX

This entry covers airframe N512FX, a 2023 build with serial number 20978, a Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 3500 manufactured by Bombardier Inc. The jet is owned by Flexjet LLC, a corporation based in Cleveland, OH, US, and is operated in a US-registered fleet context. As a recent delivery from 2023, the airframe reflects current production standards for the Challenger 3500 family; its listed market valuation is $26,700,000, indicating typical new-to-you asset pricing for late-model large-cabin light-heavy business jets. No additional historical registry actions beyond the original owner/operator assignment are reported.

The cabin of N512FX is fitted in a typical 8-place executive layout, commonly arranged in a double-club seating configuration; the operator configuration for Flexjet is specifically noted as eight seats. The installed avionics package is the Collins Pro Line 21 advanced integrated flight deck with autothrottle and factory provisions for optional HUD/EVS installations, supporting precision operations and enhanced situational awareness on core business missions. Typical usage for this type of airframe in Flexjet service includes domestic and transcontinental charter and fractional operations within North America, leveraging the jet’s 3,400 nm range and high cruise speed for nonstop city-pair missions. Maintenance and dispatch profiles follow corporate fractional operator practices, with factory-standard HTF7350 engines and avionics support enabling scheduled maintenance cycles consistent with manufacturer recommendations.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 3500 occupies a performance niche as a large-cabin super-midsize business jet, offering transcontinental capability with a cabin focus. Competing models include other super-midsize and large-cabin types that target fractional and charter operators; demand from buyers and charter companies remains strong for late-build examples. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect modern engine and avionics suites—Honeywell HTF7350 engines and Collins Pro Line 21—that support predictable maintenance programs and favorable fleet commonality for corporate operators like Flexjet.
