N989BC

This airframe, registered as N989BC, is a 1988-built Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A, serial number 5021, manufactured by Canadair Ltd (Bombardier). The airframe is owned by EPIC RISE LLC, a corporate registrant based in Tulsa, OK, US, and is listed in US civil registers under that corporate ownership. Registered to EPIC RISE LLC, the airliner-class corporate jet reflects late-1980s Challenger construction and systems fit and carries a recorded market valuation of $1,470,186 in current listings. No additional public historical operator changes or notable incidents are published in the supplied data.

The specific cabin of N989BC is described as an executive layout typically accommodating 10–12 passengers, while certification permits seating up to 22; the actual outfitting on this airframe follows the executive configuration in operational listings. Avionics on the airframe include Honeywell EDZ-series EFIS elements and a Honeywell SPZ-8000 autopilot, with some listings reporting additional ProLine/Collins avionics installations on individual Challenger 601-3A examples. Typical mission profiles for this platform and this registration would center on medium-range corporate transport and charter-style transfers within the aircraft’s 4,033 nm range and cruise speed of 459 kts, operated from the owner’s base in Tulsa, OK, US. Maintenance considerations align with twin CF34 turbofan overhauls and legacy avionics upgrade paths reported in market listings.

The Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 601-3A occupies a mid-size corporate jet niche offering transcontinental range and a relatively high-service ceiling of 41,000 ft, powered by twin CF34-series engines producing 9,140 lbf each. Competing models in its era include other late-1980s mid-size business jets with similar range and passenger accommodations; buyer interest typically focuses on cabin comfort, upgradeable avionics, and engine time since new. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe are influenced by its 1988 manufacture date, serial 5021, the installed Honeywell avionics suite, and the economics of CF34 maintenance and potential avionics modernization.
