Model & Market Context
This airframe, registered as N605CS, is a 2009-built Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 605 with manufacturer serial 5801. The jet is owned by TWIN HOLDINGS AVIATION LLC of Great Falls, VA, US, and is registered in the US; the transaction establishing that ownership is the most recent recorded change in the provided data. The aircraft's valuation is listed at $8,950,000, reflecting market positioning for a 2009 Challenger 605 with standard equipment and typical wear for its vintage. No additional registry actions or incident history are published in the supplied dataset.
The airframe is configured in a typical executive club layout accommodating 10–12 passengers in a VIP arrangement while remaining certificated for up to 19–22 seats depending on configuration, allowing flexibility between corporate transport and higher-density charter missions. Avionics fit for this 605-series airframe is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, a common factory fit or retrofit for the model that supports modern flight-deck functionality and avionics maintainability. With a long-range capability of 3,732 nm and a cruise of 470 kts, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental and extended-range corporate missions operated from its Great Falls, VA base. Maintenance considerations for this specific hull would prioritize the twin GE CF34-3B engines and Pro Line 21 avionics lifecycle items in routine heavy-check planning.
Within its family, the Challenger 605 platform represented a mid-to-large cabin business jet offering long-range capability and a high ceiling (41,000 ft) for efficient cruise performance. The combination of a certified passenger capacity to 22 seats and a typical executive 10–12 club interior provides resale and role flexibility that keeps demand steady among charter operators and corporate buyers. Key market considerations for this 2009 airframe include airframe age-driven maintenance cycles, engine shop visits for the GE CF34-3B units, and avionics upgrade paths despite the present Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 fit, all factors that influence operating cost and resale value near the published $8,950,000.
