N557XJ

This entry documents airframe N557XJ, a 2005-built Bombardier Challenger 300 (BD-100-1A10) with serial number 20047. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporation based in Salt Lake City, UT, US; no other operators or ownership transfers are published in the supplied record. The airframe’s engines, cabin configuration and avionics reflect typical Challenger 300 completions for the mid-2000s, and its market valuation in the provided data is $8,000,000. Registry and valuation notes indicate a standard corporate trust ownership structure rather than a private individual operator.

The cabin of N557XJ is outfitted in a typical eight-place executive layout with a forward galley, mid cabin club seating, and an aft belted lavatory, reflecting a configuration aimed at corporate transport and executive charter missions. Avionics are recorded as Collins Pro Line 21 (typical upgrade/Pro Line 21 advanced common on CL-600-2D24/BD-100 series), supporting advanced flight management and long-range operational capability. With a maximum cruise of 459 kts and a range of 3,100 nm, the airframe is suited to transcontinental U.S. and island-hopping missions from a corporate base in Salt Lake City, UT or other continental hubs. Maintenance considerations align with twin Honeywell AS907-1-1A engines and Pro Line 21 avionics commonality, aiding parts support and avionics shop availability.

The Bombardier Challenger 300 (BD-100-1A10) family occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering long-range transcontinental capability combined with a high cruise speed and a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Competitors typically include other super-midsize platforms that balance range and cabin comfort; buyer and charter demand favor aircraft with proven engine and avionics types such as the Honeywell AS907 series and Collins Pro Line 21. Resale and maintenance considerations for N557XJ reflect its 2005 build year, trust ownership structure, and the ongoing market valuation of $8,000,000 for similarly equipped airframes.
