Model & Market Context
This airframe, registration N580KR, is a 1994-built Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3R with serial number 5148. The airliner-class business jet is recorded as owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in North Salt Lake, UT, US; the ownership is cataloged under a corporate trustee structure and thus appears in registries under that entity. The aircraft is U.S.-registered and certificated to a 22-seat configuration while typically outfitted for executive use. No public record of recent major airframe exchanges or notable registry events beyond the trustee ownership is included in the supplied data.
The cabin of this specific airframe is configured in a typical VIP executive layout accommodating 9–11 passengers, although the aircraft is certificated up to 22 seats for higher-density operations. Avionics installations reported for this airframe include Honeywell SPZ-8000 / Collins Pro Line II, with various installation or upgrade permutations noted across the model series. Typical missions for this Challenger 601-3R emphasize transcontinental and long-range executive transport aligned with its 3,289 nm range and cruise of 425 kts, operated from a U.S. base under corporate trustee ownership. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its mid-1990s build year and twin CF34-3A1 engines, which influence overhaul cycles, parts availability, and compliance with contemporary avionics upgrade paths.
The Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3R sits in the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering passenger comfort and transcontinental capability versus smaller light jets. Competing models typically include later Challenger variants and large-cabin jets from other manufacturers offering similar range and cabin size. Buyer and charter demand for a 1994 Challenger with VIP interior and proven CF34-3A1 propulsion centers on operators valuing cabin space and range, balanced against age-related maintenance and avionics modernization considerations. Resale and maintenance profiles are influenced by the airframe’s 1994 manufacture date and the specific avionics fit of this airframe.
