N885M

This entry covers airframe N885M, a 2019-built example of the Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350 with serial number 20836. The aircraft is registered in the US and is currently owned by Balise Management LLC, an entity based in West Springfield, MA, US. There is no public record of other ownership transfers or notable registry actions beyond its active US registration. As a late-model Challenger 350, N885M carries an estimated market value of $18,000,000 and is maintained to executive standards consistent with that valuation.

The cabin of N885M is fitted in a typical eight-place executive double-club layout with a forward galley and a belted lavatory; an option exists to increase capacity up to 10 pax. The aircraft is equipped with an advanced Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite, supporting modern navigation, communication and situational awareness tasks for business and charter operations. Based with its owner in West Springfield, MA, US, the Challenger 350 airframe is commonly deployed on transcontinental and medium-range international missions within its 3,200 nm capability, operating at cruise speeds near 459 kts and flight levels up to 45,000 ft. Maintenance considerations align with Honeywell AS907-2-1A engine support and Pro Line 21 avionics lifecycle programs typical for late-production-model Challengers.

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350 occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, offering a balance of cabin comfort, transcontinental range and runway performance. Its principal competitors include other super-midsize platforms that target owner-operators and charter operators seeking 3,000+ nm mission capability. Demand in the used market favors well-equipped, low-time late-model airframes; therefore N885M’s 2019 build year and Pro Line 21 fit contribute positively to resaleability. Owners and operators typically weigh engine maintenance reserves and avionics modernization paths when evaluating long-term operating costs for this model.
