N831PB

This entry covers airframe N831PB, a Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 605 built in 2012 with manufacturer serial number 5895. The aircraft is currently owned by RAYNEMEN LLC, an LLC based in Pebble Beach, CA, US, and is registered in the US. The Challenger 605 hull and registration indicate typical corporate operation from a California home base; maintenance and registry records for this tail reflect standard corporate-operator activity rather than airline or fractional ownership. No public records of significant incidents or major registry transfers beyond the current ownership are included here.

The airframe is outfitted in a typical executive cabin configuration offering a 10–12-place executive layout while being certificated for up to 22 seats, allowing flexibility between executive transport and higher-capacity arrangements. Avionics fit is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 (typical for the type), providing modern integrated flightdeck capabilities used for business and charter operations. Typical missions for this aircraft under corporate ownership include medium- to long-range point-to-point executive flights within the continental US and transcontinental missions, leveraging a 4,045 nm range and high cruise speed. Operating from Pebble Beach and similar coastal bases, the airframe’s maintenance considerations align with Bombardier Challenger 600-series practices, including CF34 engine support and Pro Line 21 avionics lifecycle management.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 605 occupies the large-cabin, mid-size business jet niche, known for transcontinental range, cabin comfort, and robust payload capability. Competing models include late-model variants of the Gulfstream G150/G280 and Dassault Falcon 2000/2000EX in certain mission profiles. Market demand for 605s is driven by corporate buyers and charter operators seeking a balance of range (4,045 nm), speed (459 kts), and cabin size; resale and maintenance considerations typically focus on CF34 engine maintenance status, Pro Line 21 avionics updates, and interior refurbishment relative to certificated seating layouts.
