Model & Market Context
The airframe bearing tail number N602NP is a 1992-built Canadair Challenger 601-3A (CL-600-2B16) with manufacturer's serial 5121, constructed by Canadair Ltd. It is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by SIX HUNDRED NP LLC, an LLC based in Valparaiso, IN, US, which serves as the current operator/home base for this specific jet. Registry records identify the type and location of the owner and the airframe's U.S. registration, and the aircraft carries a market valuation of $2,300,000, reflecting late-model Challenger 601-3A airframe and systems condition inherent to a 1992 build. Maintenance history and detailed configuration notes are not published beyond the common variant equipment fit.
The Challenger 601-3A airframe configured as N602NP supports a typical 22-seat corporate or charter cabin layout, enabling mixed passenger and light-cargo missions over transcontinental ranges. The flightdeck is equipped with the common variant avionics suite Collins Pro Line II, supporting standard Challenger operational procedures, navigation and communications for business and air taxi operations. Based on its specifications, the aircraft is suitable for medium- to long-range executive transport and charter work from its owner/operator base in Valparaiso, IN, US, with maintenance considerations consistent with CF34 engine support and Challenger-series airframe systems. No supplementary cabin amenities or retrofit records beyond the standard seat count are published for this airframe.
The Canadair Challenger 601-3A (CL-600-2B16) occupies a mid-size business jet niche offering transcontinental capability, a high subsonic cruise around 442 kts, and a service ceiling near 41,000 ft, matching competitors in its vintage class. Typical market comparisons include late-model Gulfstream, Falcon, and Bombardier variants where buyer demand balances range, cabin size and acquisition cost; the reported valuation of $2,300,000 reflects depreciation and market for early-1990s airframes equipped with Pro Line II avionics. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe focus on CF34-3A2 engine support, structural fatigue inspections for a 1992 build, and avionics modernization prospects for operators seeking long-term charter or corporate use.
