Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing registration N550XJ is a Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 built in 2011 with serial number 20323. The aircraft is owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE (a corporation) based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, and is registered in the US. Notable registry actions include its listing under the trustee ownership in North Salt Lake, Utah. The airframe is appraised at $10,600,000, reflecting its early-2010s build and typical market position for Challenger 300s of similar vintage.
The cabin of this specific Challenger 300 is outfitted in a typical 8-place executive double-club layout with a flat floor, configured for executive transport and private charter missions. Avionics fit for early CL-300-series examples is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, which supports business-jet navigation and systems management appropriate to its mission set. Typical operations for N550XJ would include transcontinental and long regional missions within its 3,100 nm range at cruise speeds around 459 kts, operating from the owner/operator base in North Salt Lake and similar US regional airports. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its twin Honeywell AS907 turbofans and the Challenger 300’s established support network; trustee ownership suggests fleet management or third-party asset oversight rather than direct corporate flight department operation.
The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 occupies the light-large business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability, a high-altitude ceiling of 45,000 ft, and eight-seat executive comfort. Competing models in the segment typically include late-model super-midsize business jets offering similar range and performance; buyer and charter demand for a 2011 Challenger 300 centers on operators seeking a balance of cabin comfort and long-range cruise. Resale and maintenance considerations for this serial (20323) include the continued relevance of Pro Line 21 avionics for upgrades, engine support for the AS907 series, and market valuation consistent with the $10,600,000 appraisal.
