Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N550AT is a 2024-built Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 3500, serial 20991, manufactured by Bombardier Inc. The aircraft is owned by ASSOCIATED AVIATION VENTURES LLC, a corporation based in Convent, Louisiana, United States, and is U.S.-registered. As a new-build example of the 3500 variant delivered in 2024, the airframe carries the valuation listed at $27,200,000 and represents a current-production configuration with upgraded flight-deck and cabin systems; no further registry actions or operator transfers are recorded in the supplied data.
The airframe is outfitted in a typical eight- to nine-place executive flat-floor cabin with a forward galley and baggage compartment offering 106 cu ft of stowage, matching the Challenger 3500 interior arrangement. Avionics are the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 family common to the CL-600/BD-100 lineage, with the 3500 introducing upgraded flight-deck/cabin systems and autothrottle functionality on this specific model. Operationally, the performance figures—3,200 nm range and 459 kt cruise—position this airframe for transcontinental U.S. missions and medium-haul corporate shuttle use from its home base in Convent, LA. Maintenance considerations align with a twin Honeywell HTF-powered Challenger platform, with standard OEM and in-service support pathways anticipated for this production-year airframe.
The BD-100-1A10 Challenger 3500 occupies the super-midsize executive jet niche within Bombardier’s CL-600/BD-100 family, offering enhanced flight-deck automation and cabin systems relative to preceding variants. Competing models target similar transcontinental missions and cabin comfort levels; buyer and charter demand for a new-build 3500 is driven by the combination of range, cabin volume, and certified ceiling of 45,000 ft. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect typical expectations for a 2024-production Challenger 3500: manufacturer support, HTF-series engine maintenance programs, and market valuation around $27,200,000.
