N78TC

This airframe, registered as N78TC, is a 2005-built Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 with serial number 20070. The aircraft is owned by TIMKEN CO (a corporation based in North Canton, OH, US) and carries United States registration. Acquisition by TIMKEN CO represents the principal documented ownership for this serial, with no further public listing of cabin refit or secondary operators. Valuation records list this specific Challenger 300 at $4,798,564, reflecting market factors for a mid-2000s airframe with factory-standard configuration.

The cabin for this airframe is reported as a typically 8 passenger executive layout, though the exact fitted cabin for N78TC is not published in public listings. Avionics fit and specific interior amenities for this registration are not published; operational use is therefore inferred from owner type and aircraft capability. With a long-range capability of 3,100 nm and a cruise speed near 459 kts, missions for this Challenger 300 are consistent with transcontinental and medium-range corporate transport originating from the owner’s base in North Canton, OH, US. Maintenance and operational considerations for this airframe center on its twin Honeywell AS907-1-1A turbofans and the typical inspection cycles and component support associated with mid-2000s Bombardier production aircraft.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 occupies the light-medium business jet niche with a combination of transcontinental range and eight-passenger executive capacity. Its direct competitors during the model’s primary market years included light to midsize business jets offering similar cruise speeds and range, with buyer demand driven by corporate owners and fractional/charter operators. For resale and maintenance considerations, age (2005 build, serial 20070) and the recorded valuation of $4,798,564 are relevant to cost of inspections, potential avionics upgrades, and engine-life considerations for the twin Honeywell AS907-1-1A powerplants.
