N552YM

This article covers airframe N552YM, a 2012-built Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global 6000 with serial number 9511. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by WILMINGTON TRUST CO TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, Delaware; registry records indicate trustee ownership rather than a named individual operator. The airframe retains typical Global 6000 equipment and a certificated seating capacity that differs from its fitted executive interior; its market valuation is listed at $18,942,164, reflecting age, configuration, and engine type. Notable registry actions include corporate trustee registration reflecting financial or trust-related ownership structures rather than direct operator registration.

The installed cabin on N552YM reflects a typical 13-passenger executive layout while the FAA certification lists a certificated capacity of 23 seats, a common distinction between fitted VIP interiors and maximum certificated layouts. Avionics are consistent with a Global 6000 fit, incorporating Collins / Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion and associated Collins avionics items reported on this airframe, supporting advanced flight management and long-range dispatch. Operational profiles for this airframe are consistent with intercontinental executive transport—long-range, high-cruise-speed missions within the declared 6,000 nm range and the aircraft’s service ceiling of 51,000 ft. Maintenance considerations reflect the BR700-series turbofan common to the type and corporate ownership structures that often employ centralized maintenance programs and trust-held asset management.

As a member of the BD-700 Global 6000 family, Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global 6000 airframe N552YM occupies the long-range business jet segment, offering high cruise speed and transcontinental to intercontinental capability within the specified 6,000 nm range. Typical demand drivers for this configuration include corporate executive transport and fractional or charter operators seeking large-cabin, long-range capability with advanced avionics such as Pro Line Fusion. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its 2012 build year, BR700-series engine hours and overhaul status, and the trustee-style ownership structure reflected in registry records.
