N552XJ

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing tail number N552XJ, a Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 built in 2011 with serial number 20329. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US; this trust ownership structure is notable for aircraft financing and asset-holding arrangements. The airframe’s valuation is listed at $10,500,000, reflecting its position as a younger example of the type in the pre-owned marketplace and likely maintained to trustee standards. No additional operator history or major registry actions are published beyond the trustee registration and valuation data provided.

The airframe is configured in a typical eight‑passenger executive double‑club layout with forward and aft galley/lavatory arrangements common to this series, offering a conventional business jet executive interior for short‑ to mid‑range missions. Avionics are fitted with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite as typical for Challenger 300 series airframes, though later flight management system upgrades are possible and commonly pursued. With a 3,100 nm range and 459‑kt cruise, the aircraft is suited to domestic transcontinental and regional international trips; operating bases and specific crew arrangements are determined by the trustee or lessee/operator under the trust agreement. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow Honeywell HTF7000 family engine programs and Bombardier/third‑party maintenance tracking consistent with a 2011 Challenger 300.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 occupies the light‑to‑super‑light business jet niche with transcontinental capability, competing with models such as the Citation X/Excel variants and Embraer Legacy/Phenom family in different mission profiles. Demand for eight‑seat Challenger 300s remains steady among corporate and charter buyers seeking cabin comfort with runway performance; resale values for 2011 airframes center on maintenance status, avionics fit (Pro Line 21 remains desirable), and engine program enrollment, all factors reflected in the listed $10.5M valuation.
