N605CE

This entry covers airframe N605CE, a Bombardier Challenger 605 (CL-600-2B16) built in 2010 with serial number 5851. The airframe is owned by EXPEDIENT VOYAGES LLC, an LLC based in Westport, CT, US, and is registered in the US registry. Notable registry items include its 2010 build and current documented ownership; its market valuation is listed at $11,000,000, reflecting a mature-condition large-cabin business jet from its production era. The aircraft’s configuration and log status define its operational role as a VIP/charter-capable Challenger 605 for regional and transcontinental missions.

The cabin on N605CE is fitted in a typical VIP executive layout configured for 8–10 passengers in comfort while retaining certification for up to 22 seats; the interior is arranged in two cabin zones and includes an enclosed lavatory plus an exterior baggage compartment of approximately 115 cu ft. Avionics are based on the Collins Pro Line 21 suite, with Pro Line 21 Advanced upgrades common across the model, supporting charter and corporate mission avionics capability. Typical operational profiles for this airframe include medium to long-range executive travel and on-demand charter missions routed from its Westport, CT operating location, exploiting the Challenger 605’s transcontinental range and cruise speed. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe reflect CF34-3B engine support and Challenger-series systems common to Bombardier Inc production.

The Bombardier Challenger 605 family occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering competitive range and cabin size against contemporaries in its class. With a cruise near 459 kts and a certified ceiling of 41,000 ft, the type appeals to owners and charter operators seeking transcontinental capability without ultra-long-range certification. Market interest balances operational costs, available avionics upgrades such as Pro Line 21 Advanced, and airframe age; the 2010 build year and valuation at $11,000,000 position N605CE as a mid-life example with resale and charter demand influenced by maintenance history, avionics fit, and cabin configuration.
