N604RB

This entry covers airframe N604RB, a Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 built in 2002 with manufacturer serial number 5513. The airframe is registered in the United States and is owned by LOUISIANA AVIATION LLC, an LLC based in Whitefish, MT, US; this ownership represents the most recently recorded title for the airframe. The aircraft is equipped and configured to operator standards typical of business jet use and its historical registry shows standard civilian ownership without recorded commercial airline operation. Valuation and detailed condition reports not published.

The subject airframe carries a typical two‑zone executive interior designed for business and private transport, commonly accommodating 8–12 executive seats to balance comfort and payload. Avionics for this specific Challenger 604 are fitted with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 suite, supporting integrated flight management, navigation, and communication systems consistent with corporate flight operations. Typical missions for this configuration include medium‑ to long‑range point‑to‑point business travel within the aircraft’s 3,750 nm range and cruise speeds near 459 kts, while routinely operating to altitudes up to 41,000 ft. As a civilian‑registered, LLC‑owned asset, operational oversight, maintenance scheduling and hangar basing are managed by the owner/operator in line with Part 91 or equivalent corporate flight rules.

The Challenger 604 airframe family occupies the super‑midsize business jet class, offering transcontinental range, twin CF34 turbofans and two‑crew operational commonality across the type. With 2× General Electric CF34-3B engines producing 9,140 lbf each and avionics like the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4, the model is positioned for charter and owner‑operator demand where cabin size and range are priorities. Competing considerations in resale and maintenance for a 2002 Challenger 604 such as N604RB typically include engine shop visit status, avionics upgrades relative to newer fleets, and interior refurbishment to maintain charter appeal and secondary‑market value.
