N604AV

This entry covers airframe N604AV, a Bombardier-built Challenger registered in the United States and delivered in 1999 with serial number 5437. The airframe is currently owned by AERO VENTURES 5 LLC, a Torrington, Connecticut–based corporation, which serves as the operator/home base for the aircraft as listed on registry records. The Challenger carries a published valuation of $2,705,478, reflecting its age, configuration potential and installed equipment variations. Notable registry actions beyond the recorded ownership are not detailed in the provided data set.

The airframe is configured in a typical executive cabin of about 10–12 places with a forward galley and an aft lavatory, while the type certification allows higher-density layouts up to the certificated maximum of 22 seats for other mission profiles. Avionics fit can vary by retrofit on this airframe and is reported as Collins Pro Line II / Honeywell Primus equipment depending on the specific installation history. With a cruise speed near 442 kts and a transcontinental range of 3,430 nm, the aircraft is suitable for long-range corporate transport, charter operations or transcontinental ferry duties from its operator base in Torrington, CT. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on the twin GE CF34-3A powerplants and any avionics retrofits performed during its operational life.

The airframe belongs to the Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A family manufactured by Bombardier Inc., a platform known for its large-cabin comfort and transcontinental capability. In the pre-owned market, examples like N604AV sit in a niche balancing mature airframe age (built 1999) against durable systems and upgrade potential, with resale and charter demand influenced by interior condition, avionics retrofits and engine maintenance status. Owners and buyers typically weigh refurbishment or avionics modernization costs against the aircraft’s remaining operational utility and the listed valuation of $2,705,478 when assessing lifecycle and aftermarket competitiveness.
