N852DL

This entry documents airframe N852DL, a 2020-built Bombardier BD-100-1A10 (Challenger 350) bearing manufacturer serial number 20840. The aircraft is owned by PNC FINANCIAL SERVICES GROUP INC, a corporate owner based in Pittsburgh, PA, and is registered in the US. Valued at approximately $19,000,000, this airframe represents a recent-production example of the Challenger 350 family and appears configured for corporate executive transport; notable registry actions are limited to standard US registration associated with corporate ownership.

The cabin of N852DL is fitted in a typical 8‑passenger executive layout with a forward galley and aft baggage area, providing a stand-up cabin environment suitable for business missions and short two-to-five-hour transcontinental sectors within the aircraft’s 3,200 nm range. Avionics conform to the typical Challenger 350 fit of Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, supporting standard corporate flight operations and common avionics training syllabi for the type. Operated under corporate ownership out of Pittsburgh, PA, the airframe’s mission profile is consistent with executive transport, ad hoc business trips and repositioning flights; maintenance considerations are those typical for a 2020 Challenger 350, including scheduled engine and avionics checks on the Honeywell HTF7350 powerplants and Pro Line 21 suites.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 (Challenger 350) occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of transcontinental range, cabin comfort, and runway performance. With cruise speeds around 459 kts and a service ceiling of 45,000 ft, it competes with types such as the Gulfstream G280 and Embraer Praetor 600 in corporate and charter markets. Buyer and charter demand for late-model examples like N852DL remains focused on reliability, cabin comfort and avionics commonality; resale considerations include engine program status for the Honeywell HTF7350 and the market premium for well-documented corporate-owned airframes.
