Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N542FX is a 2008-built Bombardier Challenger 300 (BD-100-1A10) with manufacturer serial number 20217. The aircraft is owned and operated by FLEXJET LLC, an LLC based in Cleveland, OH, US, and is registered in the US. The asset is recorded with an estimated market value of $4,798,564, reflecting its late-2000s build standard configuration and continuing operator support; no additional registry actions beyond standard U.S. registration are published in the provided data. Ownership and operation by FLEXJET LLC positions the airframe within a fractional ownership and charter operator fleet context based at the owner’s Cleveland location.
The cabin of this specific Challenger 300 presents a typical executive eight‑place layout with a forward club seating area, mid cabin seating, a belted lavatory, and a forward galley, configured to support short- to medium-haul business missions and charter sectors. Avionics are fitted in the typical Challenger 300 standard with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, though the specific fit can vary airframe-to-airframe; this fit supports standard operator training and dispatch procedures for the type. Operationally the airframe’s combination of range (3,100 nm) and cruise speed (459 kts) suits cross-country U.S. and transborder missions under fractional or charter utilization by FLEXJET LLC. Maintenance considerations follow Honeywell AS907-1-1A engine support and typical Challenger 300 component programs as maintained by the operator.
The Bombardier Challenger 300 (BD-100-1A10) occupies the light business jet performance niche with transcontinental capability, combining near‑mid-size cabin comfort with a 3,100 nm range and a 45,000 ft ceiling. In the market it competes with contemporaries offering similar payload-range tradeoffs, and demand is driven by fractional and charter operators seeking eight‑seat executive cabins. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2008-build airframe such as 20217 include continued support for the Honeywell AS907 engines and avionics upgrade pathways for the Pro Line 21 suite, factors that influence valuation and remarket potential.
