N74ZC

This airframe, registered as N74ZC, is a 2004-built Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 with serial number 20018. It is owned by ZIEGLER INC, a corporation based in Minneapolis, MN, US, and is maintained on the US register. The airframe’s provenance reflects corporate ownership rather than individual private use, and its valuation is assessed at $8,900,000, indicating a mature mid-life market position for a 2004 Challenger 300. Maintenance history and any specific registry actions are not published beyond standard US corporate registration.

The cabin of this Challenger 300 is arranged in the standard double-club layout for 8 passengers with a flat floor and a forward galley; an aft three-seat divan is listed as optional, reflecting flexibility for light executive transport or corporate shuttle missions. Avionics were delivered with the Collins Pro Line 21 (original fit), though the airframe is among those where optional updates may be installed over time; specifics of any retrofit are not published. Typical mission profiles for this specific aircraft under corporate ownership would include transcontinental and regional executive transport within the 3,100 nm range and high-speed cruise at approximately 459 kts from a corporate base in Minneapolis or equivalent hubs. Maintenance considerations include common mid-life inspections for early-2000s airframes and potential avionics modernization to maintain competitive operational capability.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 occupies the light/medium super-midsize business jet niche, combining transcontinental range and a high cruise speed with a relatively high service ceiling of 45,000 ft. Competitors in this performance band include aircraft offering similar range/speed balances; buyer and charter demand tends to favor well-maintained, updated examples with modern avionics and cabin refurbishments. For a 2004 serial 20018, resale and maintenance considerations focus on engine cycles, avionics upgrade status, and interior condition, which collectively drive valuation around $8,900,000 in the current market.
