N709BA

The airframe bearing tail number N709BA is a 2009-built Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 605, serial 5811, manufactured by Bombardier Inc.. The aircraft is owned by 5811 LLC, a limited liability company based in Meridian, ID, US, and is registered in the US. Registry records indicate the airframe is configured and listed with up to 22 seats for transport roles while retaining a typical executive fit option, and its assessed market value is $8,950,000. Maintenance status and specific operator movements are limited to the ownership and registry entries associated with 5811 LLC.

This Challenger 605 is presented with a typical executive cabin arrangement of 9–12 seats across two cabin zones, while the registry shows it can be configured for higher-capacity or transport roles with 22 seats. The aircraft is equipped with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced avionics suite, supporting precision navigation and modern cockpit systems appropriate for transcontinental and international charter missions. With a long-range capability of 4,047 nm and a cruise speed near 424 kts, the airframe is suited to corporate, charter, and special mission profiles out of its home base in Meridian, ID. Operational considerations for this specific airframe would include CF34-3B engine maintenance cycles and avionics support for the Pro Line 21 Advanced fit.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 605 family occupies the super-midsize business jet segment with transcontinental range and cabin comfort that appeal to corporate and charter buyers. Competitors in this class typically include later-model super-midsize jets offering similar payload, range, and cabin amenities; buyers weigh operating costs, avionics standardization, and engine support programs such as those for the GE CF34-3B. Given the listed value of $8,950,000 for this 2009 serial 5811 airframe, resale and charter demand will depend on maintenance history, interior refurbishment state, and remaining life on key components such as the engines and avionics.
