N878HL

This airframe, registered as N878HL, is a 2007-built Bombardier BD-700-1A11 Global 5000 with manufacturer serial number 9261. The aircraft is owned by WELLS FARGO EQUIPMENT FINANCE INC (a corporation based in San Francisco, CA, US) and appears in U.S. registry/listings with that corporate ownership recorded. Registry and listing entries report an executive-configured cabin and avionics upgrades; market valuation listed for this airframe is $11,495,000. No other owners or operators are published in the supplied data, and notable registry actions are limited to the recorded corporate ownership and equipment/upgrade reports.

The cabin for N878HL is reported as an 8-seat executive layout in registry and listing entries, indicating a typical long-range corporate transport interior optimized for small-party executive missions. Avionics and systems reported on listings include a DU-875 cockpit upgrade, FANS 1/A, CPDLC, and a HUD, supporting long-range oceanic and high-altitude digital communication operations. With a 5,200 nm range and a cruise of 487 kts, typical mission profiles for this airframe would include transcontinental and transoceanic executive flights operated from its U.S. registration base. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would follow Global 5000 program schedules, with attention to documentation associated with the listed avionics upgrades and corporate lessor ownership.

The Bombardier BD-700-1A11 Global 5000 sits in the large-cabin, long-range business-jet niche, prized for transcontinental and intercontinental efficiency versus competitors such as long-range offerings from Gulfstream and Dassault. With a high-altitude ceiling of 51,000 ft and a 5,200 nm range, the type competes on speed and cabin volume rather than single-pilot flexibility. For buyers and charter operators, resale and maintenance considerations include the value impact of avionics upgrades like the DU-875, FANS/CPDLC capability, HUD installations, and cabin refurbishments; those items are specifically reported for this airframe. Ownership by a finance corporation such as WELLS FARGO EQUIPMENT FINANCE INC may indicate availability through leasing or remarketing channels.
