Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N600GA, is a 1985-built example of the Bombardier CL-600-2A12 Challenger 601 (601-1A), manufactured by Canadair Ltd (Bombardier Aerospace) and carrying construction serial number 3046. The airframe is held by 601 HOLDINGS LLC, an entity registered in Las Vegas, NV, US, and it appears on the United States civil register as a fixed-wing multi-engine aircraft. The installation history for this specific airframe includes its original fit with 2× General Electric CF34-3A engines and a corporate executive cabin; no public record of major registry transfers or high-profile incidents is provided in the supplied data. Condition and valuation details are not published in the provided dataset.
The subject Challenger 601 is outfitted in an executive 9-passenger cabin configuration featuring forward club seating, two executive seats opposite a two-place divan, a forward galley, and an aft lavatory, reflecting a typical corporate transport layout. Avionics for this airframe comprise a Honeywell EDZ-803 (5-tube) flight deck integrated with the ProLine II avionics suite, a Honeywell SPZ-600 autopilot, and dual UNS-1K GPS units, supporting traditional corporate IFR and long-range point-to-point missions. Typical operations for this configuration would emphasize medium-to-long-range corporate travel within the aircraft’s 3,430 nm range and cruise speeds near 424 kts, operating from company bases or charter operators in the United States; maintenance considerations are driven by CF34 turbofan support and avionics legacy-system support.
The Challenger 601 family occupies a mid-heavy corporate transport niche, offering transcontinental range and a pressurized executive cabin capable of nine passengers in this layout. Competitors in its era and market segment include other late-1980s corporate jets offering similar payload-range tradeoffs; buyers and charter operators historically value the 601 for its cabin volume and runway performance. Market and maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on lifecycle support for the CF34-3A engines, legacy ProLine II avionics upgrades or retrofits, and the impact of serial-specific maintenance history (serial 3046) on resale and continuing operational utility.
