The aircraft is registered in the US and is recorded as owned by Sierra Aviation Inc., a corporation based in Kansas City, MO, US.

The cabin for N905SA is reported in the executive layout tradition of Challenger 604s, typically outfitted to seat 9–12 passengers in comfort while retaining a certified capacity of 22 for airworthiness purposes. Avionics conform to the series' common fit with a Collins Pro Line 4 suite, supporting navigation and systems integration consistent with business jet mission profiles. Operated from the owner’s base in Kansas City, MO, the aircraft’s long range of 4,033 nm and cruise speed of 459 kts suit transcontinental and extended overwater flights under typical corporate or charter missions.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 (Challenger 604) family occupies a mid-size, long-range business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability with robust runway and payload performance. Its direct-market competition includes older models of comparable range and comfort; buyers often weigh operational commonality, avionics generation such as the Collins Pro Line 4, and CF34-3B engine support networks. For resale and continued operation of N905SA, certified seating capacity, avionics fit, and documented maintenance under the owner Sierra Aviation Inc. will be material to prospective purchasers or operators.
