N54CA

This entry covers airframe N54CA, a 2021-built Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350 with serial number 20877. The aircraft is owned by CAPTIVE-AIRE SYSTEMS INC, a corporation based in Raleigh, NC, US, and is registered in the US. Valued at $19,000,000, the airframe is a late-production Challenger 350 exhibiting the manufacturer’s contemporary outfitting and avionics package for corporate transport operations.

The cabin of N54CA follows a typical 8–9 passenger executive layout with a flat floor, featuring a belted lavatory and a forward galley as described in the equipment list. The installed avionics suite is Collins Pro Line 21 (Pro Line 21 Advanced), supporting typical business-jet flight operations and modern airspace requirements. Operated from the owner’s base in Raleigh, NC, US, the aircraft is suited to medium‑to‑long domestic and transcontinental missions given its 3,200 nm range and cruise speed of 447 kts. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with factory schedules for the Challenger 350 family and the Honeywell AS907-2-1A engines, and the documented configuration supports executive transport roles with a focus on passenger comfort and operational flexibility.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350 occupies the super‑midsize corporate jet niche, offering long range, high cruise speed, and a cabin-size advantage relative to light and mid-size competitors. Typical competitors include other super‑midsize types that target eight‑passenger corporate missions; buyers often prioritize cabin comfort, range, and avionics capability such as the Collins Pro Line 21 fit found on N54CA. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2021 Challenger 350 like 20877 center on engine program enrollment and airframe maintenance tracking, factors that influence lifecycle value near the reported $19,000,000 valuation.
