This entry documents the specific airframe registered as N65FF, a Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A built in 1999 with manufacturer serial 5122. The airframe is owned by N65FF LLC, a limited liability company based in Liverpool, NY, US, and is registered in the United States. Notable registry facts include its US registration and corporate ownership structure; no other ownership history is published in the source data.

This specific Challenger 601-3A typically carries a VIP cabin layout accommodating 8–12 passengers, with a forward galley and an aft lavatory; exact fitout varies by owner and this airframe is noted as having a typical VIP configuration. Avionics installations on the 601-3A series vary by shipset, and this ship commonly features mixed Collins and Honeywell ProLine/DFZ components as fitted to the model range. Operationally the aircraft’s 3,430 nm range and 440-knot cruise speed make it suited to transcontinental and medium-range international missions from its home base in Liverpool, New York, under corporate operation. Maintenance considerations align with the Challenger 601-3A series norms, including attention to CF34-3A engine lifecycle and avionics integration where mixed ProLine/DFZ systems are present.

The Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A occupies the medium-large business jet niche, offering long domestic and transcontinental capability with a high, long-range cruise and a service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Competing models in its era include other purpose-built large-cabin business jets; buyer demand tends to favor airframes with well-documented maintenance histories and standardized avionics suites. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its 1999 build year, CF34-3A powerplants, and the variable fit of ProLine/DFZ avionics, factors that influence refurbishment costs and marketability.
