N712PR

The aircraft bearing registration N712PR is a 1996-built Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16), serial number 5313, manufactured by Canadair Ltd. (Bombardier Aerospace). The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by Aviation Resource Group Inc — a corporate operator based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, US — which serves as the aircraft’s operator/home base. Valued at approximately $6,000,000, this specific Challenger 604 presents the typical mid-life profile for a 1996 Challenger series jet in corporate service, with maintenance and resale considerations aligned with its twin-engine CF34 configuration and executive interior. No additional registry actions or prior operators are published in the provided data.

This airframe is typically outfitted in a nine–twelve passenger executive layout while retaining certification for up to 22 seats, reflecting the common Challenger practice of variable interiors to suit charter or corporate needs. The cabin configuration for N712PR is consistent with a forward galley and an aft lavatory commonly present on the type, enabling transcontinental and long-range missions within the aircraft’s 4,000 nm capability. Avionics aboard are representative of the model’s standard fit, with a Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4 suite, and many Challenger 604s — including examples configured like this one — are frequently upgraded with Precision-Plus enhancements. Based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, the operator typically employs the jet for executive transport and charter operations where the combination of range, cabin flexibility, and runway performance are required.

The Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) occupies a performance niche as a large-cabin, long-range business jet from the mid-1990s, powered by twin General Electric CF34 turbofans. Competing models in its class historically include other large-cabin long-range business jets offering similar transcontinental capability. Buyer and charter demand for well-maintained Challenger 604s hinges on interior condition, avionics updates such as Pro Line 4/Precision-Plus, and engine/airframe maintenance history; these factors also materially affect resale and lifecycle maintenance budgeting for a 1996 airframe valued at $6,000,000.
