N654CM

The airframe bearing tail number N654CM is a Canadair-built business jet, a Canadair Challenger 601-3A (CL-600-2B16) completed by Canadair Ltd in 1987 with serial number 5009. The aircraft is recorded as owned by the corporation Pacific States Industries Inc. of Morgan Hill, CA, US, and is registered in the US. As a late-1980s Challenger model, its long service life and corporate ownership history are notable for typical recurrent inspections and ownership continuity. The airframe carries an estimated market value of $2,300,000, reflecting its age, configuration, and continued operational capability.

This specific Challenger, registered to Pacific States Industries Inc. in Morgan Hill, CA, US, is configured with 22 seats, indicating a higher-density passenger arrangement relative to some corporate executive layouts. Detailed cabin fit and avionics fit are not published in the available data; maintenance and operational responsibility rest with the listed corporate owner. Typical employment for this airframe, based on its assessed range of 3,365 nm and cruise capability of 442 kts, supports medium- to long-range corporate transport missions from its operator base. Ongoing maintenance considerations for this 1987-built airframe align with standard heavy-check cycles and engine inspections for the General Electric CF34-3A powerplants.

The Canadair Challenger 601-3A (CL-600-2B16) represented by N654CM occupies a performance niche defined by transcontinental range and moderate high-speed cruise, here quantified as 3,365 nm range and 442 kts cruise. Powered by a pair of CF34-3A engines rated 9,140 lbf each, the type balances payload capability—reflected in a 22-seat configuration—with a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Market considerations for this airframe include its 1987 manufacture date and the assessed fair market value of $2,300,000, factors that influence maintenance investment, parts availability, and resale potential for corporate operators.
