N628GL

This entry covers airframe N628GL, a 2017-built Bombardier Inc CL-600-2B16 (Challenger 650) with manufacturer serial number 6108. The aircraft is manufactured by Bombardier Inc and is registered in the United States. Ownership is recorded to XXX VENTURES LLC, an Austin, Texas–based limited liability company, and the current owner/operator is listed under that corporate registration. The airframe carries a typical Challenger 650 equipment fit for executive transport and is documented in civil registers as a fixed-wing multi-engine jet operating under U.S. registry.

The cabin of N628GL follows the Challenger 650’s typical executive configuration, a standard 8–12-place layout arranged in two cabin zones with a forward club and an aft conference/club, and is noted here in its 10-seat fit. Avionics are equipped with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, with the common field upgrade to Pro Line 21 Advanced cited as typical for this model. Operationally the airframe is suited to long-range transcontinental and international point-to-point missions within its 4,047 nm capability and cruise speed of 424 kt, supporting corporate transport, owner-flown operations, or charter missions based from its Austin, TX ownership base. Maintenance considerations reflect the Challenger 650 family’s twin CF34-3B engines and integrated Pro Line avionics suite.

The CL-600-2B16 (Challenger 650) occupies the upper end of the large-cabin super-midsize business jet category, offering long-range capability, comfortable cabin volume, and established avionics. Competing models include late-model Gulfstream G280 and Bombardier’s own older Challenger variants, with buyer and charter demand driven by cabin size and transcontinental range. Maintenance and resale considerations for this airframe center on CF34 engine overhaul cycles and avionics upgrade status, where an installed Pro Line 21 (or Pro Line 21 Advanced upgrade) typically enhances marketability.
