N68AB

This entry documents airframe N68AB, a 2024-build Bombardier Challenger (CL-600-2B16 / Challenger 605 series) bearing serial number 6202. The aircraft is registered in the United States and is owned by the corporation ROCKWELL AUTOMATION INC, based in Milwaukee, WI, US. As a recent factory-built example, it entered the corporate fleet new in 2024, carrying the contemporary systems and configuration common to late-production Challenger 605-series airframes. Registry records reflect corporate ownership and US registration without public records of subsequent operator transfers or third-party charters.

The airframe is configured for corporate operations under ROCKWELL AUTOMATION INC and, with a 22-seat layout, is optimized for large corporate transport missions, frequent point-to-point shuttles, and group travel rather than single-pilot executive shuttles. Cabin layout on Challenger 605-series airframes typically includes club seating, conference arrangements, and forward/service galley provisions; this specific aircraft’s seating count implies a high-density corporate or employee-transport configuration. Avionics and equipment reflect the Challenger 605 lineage, and operational use is likely centered on domestic and transcontinental missions consistent with its 4,060 nm range and 424 kt cruise. Maintenance considerations align with midlarge-cabin business jets powered by the GE CF34-3B engines, which require operator access to established heavy-maintenance facilities for scheduled checks.

The Bombardier Challenger (CL-600-2B16 / Challenger 605 series) occupies the large-cabin corporate transport niche, offering long-range capability and comfortable cabin volume relative to light and midsize competitors. With a 4,060 nm range and a 41,000 ft ceiling, examples like N68AB compete with other large-cabin types for corporate shuttle and group-movement roles. Buyer demand for late-build 605-series airframes is influenced by fleet commonality, proven GE CF34-3B engine support, and the platform’s resale and maintenance profile in the corporate aviation market.
