N520FX

This entry covers airframe N520FX, a 2005-built Bombardier Challenger 300 (BD-100-1A10) with manufacturer's serial number 20056. The airframe is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by CITATION X PARTS LLC, an LLC based in Liberty, NC; the transaction history includes the acquisition by CITATION X PARTS LLC that established Liberty, NC as the operator/home base for the type. The jet's provenance is typical of mid-2000s Challenger 300s and its documented valuation is $10,500,000, reflecting condition and market position for a 2005 airframe with modern systems and adult maintenance history.

The cabin of N520FX is fitted in a typical eight-place executive double-club layout with a forward galley and an aft belted lavatory, configured for executive transport and charter-style missions. Avionics are installed as a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 integrated suite (Pro Line 21 Advanced style), supporting modern flight-management and situational-awareness capability appropriate to the model’s avionics standardization. Typical operational profiles for this airframe include transcontinental and long-range business missions enabled by a 3,100 nm range and a cruise speed near 459 kts, operating from its owner/operator base in Liberty, NC. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft align with the HTF7000-family engine support environment and the Challenger 300 airframe inspection cycles; any notable registry or maintenance entries would be maintained by the US civil registry and the LLC owner.

The Bombardier Challenger 300 (BD-100-1A10) occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with a comfortable eight-place executive layout and high cruise speed. Competitors in mission profile and market position include other super-midsize types that trade range, cabin comfort and operating economics against the Challenger 300’s payload and speed advantages. Buyer and charter demand for 2005-model airframes is influenced by maintenance status, avionics fit such as the Pro Line 21 suite, and engine support for the Honeywell AS907-1-1A; these factors also drive resale considerations reflected in the airframe’s assessed value.
