N56BA

N56BA is a 2008 Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300, MSN 20228, registered to Core Natural Resources Inc. The airframe is a super‑mid business jet commonly configured for 8–9 passengers and two flight crew. It demonstrates the Challenger 300’s long‑range capability and typical corporate mission profile: transcontinental US hops and longer single‑stop international sectors.

The type is typically powered by 2 × Honeywell HTF7000 turbofan engines (approx. 6,826 lbf each) and is certificated for operations up to FL450 with an NBAA IFR range near 3,100 nm. Typical cabin fit is an 8‑place executive double‑club with forward galley and belted lavatory; avionics fits commonly seen across the fleet are Collins Pro Line 21 (many examples have Pro Line 21 Advanced). The aircraft is well suited to owner‑operators and charter brokers who require wide mission flexibility, good runway performance and a flat‑floor cabin for executive comfort.

The Challenger 300 (BD‑100) launched in the early 2000s as Bombardier’s super‑mid offering and established a strong market niche due to its combination of range, speed and cabin size. Typical cruise is ~459 kt (M0.80) with maximum cruise up to M0.83, ferry/long‑range capability ~3,100 nm, and maximum certified ceiling 45,000 ft. The model remains competitive on the pre‑owned market with active listings and a healthy resale range driven by engine/APU program enrollment, avionics standard and cabin refurb status.
