N554FX

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing registration N554FX, a Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 built in 2006 with manufacturer's serial number 20071. The aircraft is owned by Flexjet LLC, a corporation based in Cleveland, OH, US, and is registered in the US; notable registry entries reflect corporate ownership and operation under a fractional and charter operator profile. Valuation records list this individual airframe at $8,792,394, reflecting market condition and equipment fit for a mid‑2000s Challenger 300 in corporate service. Maintenance, operations and any major configuration updates are associated with the operator’s centralized program rather than an individual private owner.

The cabin for N554FX is outfitted in a typical eight‑place executive club configuration, featuring a forward galley and an aft belted lavatory that support corporate missions and short‑to‑medium international sectors. Avionics are reported as Collins Pro Line‑style integrated systems, with Collins FMC‑6200 and NAV‑4000 components noted, enabling modern flight management and navigation capability for business operations. Operated from the owner’s home base in Cleveland, OH, the airframe is commonly deployed on point‑to‑point corporate charters and fractional flights that exploit its 3,340 nm range and 459‑kt cruise for transcontinental missions. Operator maintenance practices and centralized dispatch under Flexjet LLC support availability and regulatory compliance for commercial and fractional use.

The Challenger 300 platform occupied by N554FX targets the super‑midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental range with comfortable eight‑seat executive interiors and high‑performance Honeywell HTF7000 engines producing 6,836 lbf thrust each. Competitors in this segment include other super‑midsize types that offer similar payload‑range tradeoffs; market demand leans toward fractional and charter buyers seeking reliability and cabin comfort rather than raw speed. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2006 airframe center on airframe hours, engine program enrollment and avionics fit—here a Collins Pro Line‑style suite—factors that materially affect used pricing and operator transition costs.
