N555AD

This entry describes a specific Bombardier Challenger 604 airframe, registered as N555AD and built in 2018 with manufacturer serial number 6126. The airframe is a late-production example of the Bombardier CL-600-2B16 series, manufactured by Bombardier Inc. and currently registered in the US. Ownership is listed to the corporate entity AD ONE LLC, based in Mentor, OH, US, and the registration history reflects corporate operation rather than individual private ownership; registered to AD ONE LLC upon entry into the US registry. Valuation and published condition assessments are not available in the supplied data.

The airframe’s seating capacity of 22 suggests a high-density executive or corporate charter interior configuration on this Challenger 604, accommodating mixed passenger and attendant layouts typical for the model. With a maximum practical cruise of 459 kts and a long-range capability of 4,033 nm, typical missions for N555AD would include transcontinental US hops and long-range charter or corporate sectors. The twin GE CF34-3B engines, each rated at 9,220 lbf, provide the thrust and redundancy expected for high-altitude cruise operations up to 41,000 ft, influencing fuel planning and maintenance intervals. Based in Mentor, OH by ownership association, routine operations would follow US Part 91/135 maintenance practices depending on whether the airframe operates privately or in charter service; specific avionics fit and interior amenities for this individual aircraft are not published.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 (Challenger 604) occupies a mid to large-cabin, long-range business jet niche offering a balance of range and passenger capacity, as exemplified by N555AD’s 4,033 nm range and 22-seat layout. Competing models in this segment include late-model Gulfstream and Dassault midsize-cabin jets, but the Challenger series often competes on operating economics and cabin volume. The use of the proven GE CF34-3B engines factors into maintenance planning and resale considerations; airframes built in 2018 like 6126 typically command stronger market interest than older variants due to lower flight-cycle wear, though specific resale value for this registration is not published.
