N54GR

This airframe, registered as N54GR, is a 1982-built Bombardier Challenger 601-1A (CL-601-1A) with serial number 3001. Manufactured by Canadair Ltd (Bombardier), the airframe is recorded as owned by JUBILEE AVIATION INC (a corporation based in Lawrenceville, GA, US) and is on a US registration. Registration to JUBILEE AVIATION INC in Lawrenceville, Georgia represents the primary documented ownership entry for this airframe. The aircraft is valued at $1,390,000 in current records and retains systems and cabin configurations consistent with executive transport operations.

The cabin is configured with a forward four-place club and an aft dual three-place divan arrangement, described as a 10-passenger executive layout although FAA records list a maximum of 13 seats for the aircraft. Avionics fitment on this specific airframe includes Dual Honeywell ED-800 EFIS (4-tube), Honeywell SP-600 autopilot, Dual Universal UNS-1B FMS, TCAS II, Honeywell Primus 800 weather radar, dual DME, dual Collins VHF-22C (8.33 kHz capable), and Dual Honeywell AZ-810 ADC — a package supporting long-range corporate missions and complex airspace navigation. Typical mission profiles for this airframe type and equipment include transcontinental and offshore executive transport within its 3,450 nm range and cruise at 424 kts, operating from the owner/operator base in Lawrenceville and similar corporate hubs. Maintenance considerations reflect in-service systems such as the CF34 engines and Honeywell avionics common to late-model Challenger fleet sustainment programs.

The Challenger 601-1A sits in the heavy light-cabin business jet niche, offering transcontinental range and a pressurized, stand-up cabin for executive transport. Its CF34-3A engines and systems place it in competition with contemporaries from Gulfstream and Dassault in the long-range business jet market of its era. Buyer and charter demand for vintage Challengers hinges on airframe condition, avionics retrofits, and engine program status; the recorded valuation of $1,390,000 reflects market factors for a 1982 Challenger retaining original-series equipment. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial (3001) focus on inspection status of airframe and engines, avionics currency, and compliance with regulatory modifications for continued US operations.
