Model & Market Context

The airframe bearing tail number N557FX is a factory-new Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 3500 completed in 2025 with manufacturer's serial 21051. It is owned by the corporation VJAM LLC of Cleveland, OH, US and is registered in the US; the airframe carries a book valuation of $25,900,000. Entered service in 2025 under corporate ownership and has been operated from the owner’s Cleveland area base since delivery. No other registry actions beyond initial US registration are published.

The cabin of N557FX is fitted in a typical eight-passenger executive layout with club seating, a forward galley and a belted aft lavatory, and carries Nuage seats standard on 3500 as the passenger accommodation. The flight deck is equipped with a Collins Pro Line 21 (advanced) avionics suite including autothrottle and synthetic vision as part of the baseline 3500 flight deck features. Operational missions for this airframe are consistent with medium- to long-range corporate travel enabled by its 3,400 nm range and 442 kts cruise speed, supporting transcontinental point-to-point trips and high-utilization charter or owner-flown schedules from its Cleveland-based operator. Maintenance considerations follow the HTF7350 engine family practices and standard corporate jet support cycles for a 2025 model.

As a member of the BD-100-1A10 Challenger 3500 family, N557FX occupies the super-midsize business jet niche with long-range, high-speed cruise and a high certified ceiling of 45,000 ft. Demand among corporate buyers and charter operators targets aircraft that combine executive cabin comfort—here an eight-place, club-seating plan with forward galley—and modern avionics such as Collins Pro Line 21 (advanced). Resale and maintenance considerations reflect the HTF7350 family engine commonality and the new-build 2025 status, factors that support relatively strong marketability at its listed value of $25,900,000.
