N80CK

The airframe bearing tail number N80CK is a 1982-built Canadair/Bombardier CL-600-1A11 (Challenger 600), serial number 1069. Ownership is recorded to BANK OF UTAH TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States, which places the aircraft's operator/home base interests in the Salt Lake City area. The US-registered Challenger has an FAA record that notably lists 21 seats, indicating a corporate or commercial configuration rather than the more common lower-density executive fit. Valuation and condition details are not published in the available data.

The cabin for this specific Challenger is described as a typical executive layout in the family—commonly fitted with 8–12 executive seats—however, the FAA registration for N80CK lists 21 seats, which signals a corporate/commercial configuration is installed or certificated for this airframe. Original avionics fit for the CL-600-1A11 generally included Sperry/Collins analog flight guidance equipment (SPZ-600 / Collins Pro Line 1), though many airframes in the type have undergone aftermarket avionics retrofits; the exact retrofit status for N80CK is not specified in the record. Typical mission profiles for the type and this airframe would include medium-range executive transport or corporate shuttle missions from its Salt Lake City trustee/operator base, with attention to maintenance of older analog systems if not modernized.

The CL-600-1A11 variant of the Challenger 600 family occupies a medium-range, high-comfort executive jet niche with transcontinental capability reflected by the 2,909 nm range and 41,000 ft ceiling of this airframe. Competing models in its era and secondary market tend to include other large-cabin business jets offering similar range and passenger counts. Market considerations for this airframe include potential avionics modernization, maintenance sourcing for ALF-502 engines, and the resale implications of a 1982 serial 1069 airframe carrying a 21-seat certification versus a conventional executive seating layout.
