N690BD

The airframe registered as N690BD is a Bombardier BD-700-1A10 Global Express (Sentinel R.1) built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 9107. The aircraft is recorded in the US registry and is owned by BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, UT, US. This airframe was formerly fitted for Sentinel R.1 mission systems prior to sale, a notable modification history that distinguishes its configuration history from factory-standard executive transports. Registry records indicate a corporate ownership arrangement rather than direct airline or military operation; other operator details are not published.

The registry lists a 23 seats cabin layout for this airframe; the same airframe was formerly fitted for Sentinel R.1 mission systems prior to sale, indicating it previously carried mission equipment and likely had a non-standard interior and systems fit for surveillance roles before reversion or sale. Avionics are noted as the Rockwell Collins Pro Line Fusion suite typical for the BD-700-1A10 / Global 6000 series, supporting advanced flight management, integrated weather and communications standard to long-range corporate and special-mission operations. With a transoceanic range of 6,000 nm and a high-altitude ceiling of 51,000 ft, typical mission profiles for this particular airframe under corporate trustee ownership would include long-range executive transport, repositioning flights, and post-mission ferry legs; however, current operator routings are not published. Maintenance considerations for this airframe include support for the Rolls-Royce BR710 powerplants and systems common to Sentinel-configured conversions.

The BD-700-1A10 Global Express occupies the long-range business jet and special-mission niche, offering intercontinental range and high-altitude performance. Competing models in this segment include other large-cabin ultra-long-range types that emphasize range and cabin comfort; the Pro Line Fusion avionics and BR710 engines are characteristic of late-model Global 6000/Express variants. Buyer and charter demand for such airframes depends on configuration—airframes with prior mission-system installations may require reconfiguration for pure executive use, affecting resale considerations and maintenance cycles. The corporate trustee ownership recorded for N690BD suggests it is held as an asset rather than operated by a commercial carrier, which can influence availability and transfer processes.
