N893TA

The airframe bearing tail number N893TA is a Canadair-built business jet, a Canadair CL-600-2A12 (Challenger 601 series), constructed in 1983 with manufacturer serial number 3016. The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by the corporation STA AVIATION MANAGEMENT, headquartered in New York, NY, USA; it currently appears maintained in corporate ownership with a typical operator/home base in that region. Registry entries note the original Canadair manufacture by Canadair Ltd and the single-corporation ownership status; no public record of other owners or major registry transfers is provided in the data set. Valuation and condition highlights list a market value of $1,200,000, reflecting an airframe of this vintage and specification.

The cabin for this specific Challenger 601-series airframe is configured to accommodate 22 seats, consistent with higher-density corporate or charter layouts rather than a sparse executive fit; detailed interior finish, upholstery, and exact cabin stations are not published in the supplied data. With a long-range capability of 3,430 nm and cruise speed near 424 kts, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental U.S. operations and medium-haul international hops from its New York base, performing typical missions such as charter services, corporate transport, and ferry flights. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on the twin GE CF34-1A engines and systems appropriate to a 1983 Challenger; any unique amenities or avionics fit for this serial are not described in the provided information.

The Canadair CL-600-2A12 (Challenger 601 series) occupies a performance niche as a long-range, mid-size corporate jet with transcontinental capability, here evidenced by a 41,000 ft ceiling and 3,430 nm range. In the contemporary market, older airframes like this 1983 serial typically compete with later-model Challengers and light-to-mid-size jets from other manufacturers, with buyer and charter demand influenced heavily by refurbishment, avionics upgrades, and engine/airframe hours. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are informed by its age, the specifications of the GE CF34-1A engines, and the listed valuation of $1,200,000, which implies potential refurbishment or role-specific use rather than premium executive resale.
