N988RT

This entry documents airframe N988RT, a factory-built Bombardier Challenger 300 (BD-100-1A10) originally manufactured by Bombardier Inc. in 2013 with serial number 20427. The airframe is registered in the US and is owned by ASPEN AUSTIN AIR LLC, a corporation based in Fredericksburg, TX, US. The listing and available dealer notes for this specific airframe reference an original configuration and an alternate interior option, and its equipment fit includes a certified Rockwell Collins avionics package. No additional ownership transfers or registry enforcement actions are published in the supplied data.

The cabin of N988RT is presented in the factory standard eight-passenger double-club layout, with dealer documentation noting an alternate four-passenger forward floorplan with aft LH divan as a possible variation for this airframe. Avionics on this airframe are listed as Rockwell Collins ProLine 21 Advanced, supporting business jet navigation, communication and flight management tasks typical for Challenger 300 operations. Operating profiles for this aircraft type and this specific example would typically include medium- to long-range business missions within the continental US and transcontinental flights given the 3,100 nm range, with cruise performance centered near 459 kts and operations up to a 45,000 ft service ceiling. Owner-based operations from Fredericksburg, TX suggest regional business and charter missions consistent with the Challenger 300 mission set.

The Bombardier Challenger 300 (BD-100-1A10) occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering transcontinental capability and a spacious cabin relative to some peers. Powered by twin Honeywell AS907-1-1A turbofans producing 6,944 lbf each, the model competes with other light-medium jets for owner-operators and charter operators seeking a balance of speed, range and cabin comfort. Typical market considerations for this aircraft family include demand for well-maintained avionics suites such as Rockwell Collins ProLine 21 Advanced, interior configuration options that affect resale appeal, and routine maintenance logistics tied to twin-engine Honeywell powerplants.
