N516FX

The airframe bearing tail number N516FX is a 2024-built Bombardier Challenger 3500 (BD-100-1A10) manufactured by Bombardier Inc., serial 21010. The jet is owned by C VIEW LLC, a co-owned corporate entity based in Cleveland, OH, US, and is registered in the United States. As a recent-build example of the series its entry into service reflects current factory-fit avionics and cabin standards; broker and registry records list an estimated market value of $26,700,000. No other prior ownership changes or notable registry actions are published for this specific airframe.

The airframe is outfitted in an 8-passenger executive layout per its registration configuration; the manufacturer offers up to 10-seat layouts but this particular unit is configured for eight. The cabin and mission fit are consistent with typical light large-cabin executive operations—corporate transport, owner-flown or fractional/co-owned use, and medium- to long-range point-to-point missions within a roughly 3,400 nm radius. Avionics aboard this aircraft reflect Bombardier’s advanced fit, including autothrottle, four large displays, synthetic vision, dual FMS and factory provision for optional HUD/EVS and MultiScan weather radar, supporting single-pilot or two-pilot operational concepts and modern situational awareness. Based from Cleveland, OH, the airframe’s maintenance profile aligns with OEM schedules for the Challenger 3500 family and Honeywell HTF7350 engine support.

The Bombardier Challenger 3500 (BD-100-1A10) occupies a niche as a super-midsize business jet that balances transcontinental range with spacious cabin comfort and advanced cockpit systems. With a cruise near 442 kts and a 3,400 nm range, it competes with later-model offerings from Gulfstream’s lower-end and Embraer’s Praetor/Legacy lines for owner-operators and charter operators seeking range and cabin volume without stepping into larger ultra-long-range types. Buyer demand focuses on modern avionics, dispatch reliability of the HTF7350 powerplants, and residual value; this airframe’s recent build year, current factory avionics fit and an estimated value of $26,700,000 position it favorably for operators prioritizing low-cycle, up-to-date equipment and predictable maintenance intervals.
