N978AR

This entry describes the specific Bombardier Challenger 604 airframe bearing tail number N978AR, built in 2001 with manufacturer serial number 5502. The airframe is recorded as owned by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE, a corporate trustee based in North Salt Lake, UT, US, and is registered in the US. Ownership is held by a corporate trustee rather than an individual operator, and valuation records list the airframe at $5,557,702, reflecting market and condition assumptions tied to age and configuration. Notable registry activity is limited to the recorded corporate ownership and US registration indicated in the available data.

The airframe is typically configured in a 10–12-place executive layout but is certified for up to 22 seats, allowing flexible use between VIP transport and higher-density passenger missions. Avionics fit is not published in the provided data; operationally, the aircraft’s long range of 4,027 nm and a cruise of 436 kts suit transcontinental and transoceanic corporate or charter routes. Based on ownership by TVPX AIRCRAFT SOLUTIONS INC TRUSTEE in North Salt Lake, UT, US, the aircraft’s operator base and maintenance regime would commonly follow US regulatory and maintenance practices. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe would focus on lifecycle items appropriate to a 2001 Challenger 604, including heavy checks on the airframe and its GE CF34-3B engines.

The Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16) occupies a mid-to-large cabin business jet niche with transcontinental capability and a high passenger flexibility profile. Competing aircraft in its class offer similar ranges and cabin capacities; buyer and charter demand typically favors well-maintained examples with updated avionics and interior refreshes. Resale and maintenance considerations for this 2001 airframe center on engine life, completion condition, and overall-time/inspections, factors that influence its recorded valuation of $5,557,702.
