N529NN

This entry describes airframe N529NN, a Bombardier-built Challenger in production year 2022 with manufacturer serial number 20906. The airframe is a Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350 currently registered in the United States and owned by AUDUBON LEASING LLC (an LLC based in Eden Prairie, MN). The aircraft presents as a relatively recent production example with modern avionics and a current market valuation estimated at $20,000,000. Ownership is held by a leasing company rather than an operating charter operator, indicating flexible commercial deployment or placement with third-party operators.

The installed cabin on N529NN follows a typical eight-place executive club configuration with a forward galley, forward lavatory and an aft baggage compartment, tailored to corporate and private missions. The flight deck is equipped with a Collins Pro Line 21 advanced integrated avionics suite, supporting modern navigation, flight management and situational awareness capabilities used in business aviation operations. With a 3,200 nm range and a cruise speed around 459 knots, typical missions include transcontinental U.S. hops and medium-range international flights from a base in or around the owner’s location in Minnesota. The leasing ownership model implies frequent changes in operator and potentially variable maintenance scheduling; maintenance considerations mirror the Challenger 350 family’s established inspection cycles and Honeywell HTF7350 engine support infrastructure.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350 occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, balancing cabin comfort, range and runway performance for corporate and charter markets. Competing platforms include other super-midsize types that offer similar transcontinental capability; buyer and charter demand typically favors late-production-year examples like this 2022 airframe for residual value and avionics currency. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific serial include engine program participation and inventory support for Collins Pro Line 21-equipped cockpits, factors that affect lifecycle cost and attractiveness to lessees and purchasers.
