N70X

This airframe, registered N70X, is a 1990-built Canadair Challenger configured as a Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A with serial number 5073. The manufacturer is recorded as CANADAIR LTD and the engines fitted are the original specification twin General Electric turbofans. Ownership during the data snapshot is held by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate owner based in North Salt Lake, UT, US; the aircraft is registered in the US. Registry entries note a seating allowance for 22 passengers and commercial listings have described the cabin layout and avionics fit, reflecting its configuration and condition as presented in sales and listing records.

The Challenger 601-3A airframe in question is reported in listings to carry a 12-passenger executive cabin arrangement: a forward four-place club, an aft four-place conference group opposite a four-place divan, while the registry permits up to 22 seats. Avionics are built on the Honeywell SPZ-8000 platform incorporating dual Honeywell FZ-800 flight guidance computers, Honeywell EDZ-815 EFIS, Honeywell TCAS II and WAAS capability, enabling modern navigation and situational awareness for its era. Typical mission profiles for this Challenger airframe would exploit its transcontinental range of 3,430 nm and cruise of 442 kts, operating from its corporate base in North Salt Lake, UT or similar operator hubs for long-range executive or charter missions. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe center on sustaining CF34-3A2 engine programs and avionics support for the Honeywell SPZ-8000 suite.

The Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering transcontinental range and a high cruise speed relative to light and mid-size business jets. Competing models in its class historically include other super-midsize types with similar payload-range capabilities. Buyer and charter demand for airframes like serial 5073 typically balances operational economics of the CF34-3A2 engines, interior refurbishment status (noted listings show a 12-passenger executive fit), and avionics capability, where the Honeywell SPZ-8000 suite supports continued operational relevance but may factor into upgrade decisions at resale.
