N54JC

This airframe, registration N54JC, is a 1997-built Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16), serial number 5347, manufactured by Bombardier Inc. The aircraft is recorded as owned by TUCK AVIATION LLC, a corporation based in Tucson, AZ, US, and is registered in the US. The registry lists a seating capability up to 22 for certificate limits, and the airframe retains the typical original avionics fit and systems for its build era. No public record of earlier operators or notable incidents is provided in the supplied data.

The cabin configuration for this Challenger 604 airframe is noted as typically arranged in 2 cabin zones, with common executive layouts accommodating 10–12 pax, while the registry records up to 22 seats for certificate limitations. The onboard avionics are the original-fit Collins Pro Line 4, a standard integrated flight deck for this model year that supports typical long-range business missions. Operated from its owner’s base in Tucson, AZ, the aircraft’s performance—particularly its 4,033 nm range and 459 kt cruise—suits transcontinental and some transoceanic charter or corporate flights, with maintenance considerations typical of late-1990s CF34-powered Challengers, including monitoring time-between-overhaul schedules and avionics upgrade paths.

The Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability and cabin comfort relative to mid-size competitors. Typical rivals include late-model large-cabin types that offer similar range and passenger capacity. Demand among buyers and charter operators often focuses on airframes with well-documented maintenance history, original avionics like the Collins Pro Line 4, and CF34 engine records; consequently, resale and maintenance considerations for this 1997-built airframe center on engine life remaining, recent refurbishment, and potential avionics modernization.
