N836CM

This airframe, registered as N836CM, is a 1990-built Bombardier Challenger noted on the manufacturer's designation as the Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A and carries manufacturer serial number 5079. The airframe is recorded as owned by BEL AVIATION LLC, a corporate owner based in Nokomis, FL, US and is operated from that home base under United States registration. The type is a fixed-wing multi-engine business jet powered by twin turbofan engines and is documented with a market valuation of $2,300,000, reflecting its age and configuration. Registry records indicate standard ownership registration actions consistent with corporate operation in the US.

The Challenger 601-3A airframe in question is configured to seat 22 passengers, suggesting a high-density corporate shuttle or charter layout rather than a traditional low-density executive interior. Cabin layout and specific avionics fit for this exact airframe are not detailed beyond seating capacity, but the platform typically supports transcontinental missions within its 3,430 nm range and cruise at approximately 424 kts. Operated from Nokomis, FL, under corporate ownership, the aircraft is suited to regional and continental point-to-point operations, frequently employed on business shuttle, charter, or fractional transport missions. Maintenance considerations for this individual airframe align with the Challenger 601-3A fleet standard, including CF34-3A2 engine support and airframe aging inspections relevant to a 1990 build.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A occupies a mid-size business jet niche with robust range and cabin capacity that competes against contemporaries in the late-1980s/early-1990s twinjet market. Its twin General Electric CF34-3A2 powerplants offer proven reliability but can influence maintenance and overhaul economics for older airframes, factors reflected in the listed value of $2,300,000. Buyer and charter demand for this model typically targets operators seeking roomy cabin capacity and transcontinental capability at lower acquisition cost, while resale considerations emphasize engine life, structural checks, and avionics modernization to remain competitive.
