N622JD

This entry describes airframe N622JD, a Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) built by Canadair Ltd (Bombardier) in 1998 with serial number 5356. The jet is registered in the United States and is owned by ZERO SIX AIR LLC, an LLC based in Indianapolis, IN, US, which appears as the current recorded owner on registry entries. The airframe is a mature late-1990s Challenger 604 example with a reported market value of $6,750,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and equipment fit. No other historical ownership transfers or notable regulatory actions are published beyond its U.S. registration and the current LLC ownership; the most salient recorded change is the current holding by ZERO SIX AIR LLC.

The aircraft is configured in a typical executive layout commonly seating 10–12 pax but is certified for 22 seats, providing operational flexibility between executive transport and higher-density seating when required. Avionics fit is reported to include an upgrade to Collins Pro Line Fusion, and the cabin management system is Collins Venue, which supports modern passenger services and in-flight connectivity options. Operated from the owner’s base in Indianapolis, IN, US, the Challenger 604 airframe is suited to transcontinental U.S. missions and island-hop routes consistent with its 4,119 nm range and high cruise speed. Maintenance and operational considerations for this specific airframe will reflect standard Challenger 604 practices, including attention to aging-system inspections and the impact of any avionics or interior upgrades on certification documentation.

The Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) family occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental range and cabin comfort relative to light and midsize competitors. Competing models in the same mission space historically include late-model Gulfstream and Dassault offerings, with buyers often prioritizing cabin size, range, and systems modernization; the reported Collins Pro Line Fusion upgrade positions this airframe more competitively. Demand in the pre-owned market tends to favor well-maintained, documented examples; resale and maintenance considerations for this 1998 airframe will hinge on completed inspections, engine times on GE CF34-3B units, and the condition of the executive interior versus the certified 22-seat configuration.
