N98EC

This entry covers the specific airframe bearing registration N98EC, a 2018-built Bombardier Challenger 350 (BD-100-1A10) with manufacturer serial number 20772. The airframe is recorded in the United States registry and is owned by CUSTOMERS COMMERCIAL FINANCE LLC, a corporate owner based in West Reading, PA, US. The aircraft reflects a typical late-model Challenger 350 specification set for corporate or fractional use and has a US-based operator/home base consistent with its registration and owner location. Recorded ownership under a commercial finance corporation indicates the airframe has been in a commercial financing or lease support role rather than a private individual operator.

The airframe is fitted with an 8-place executive layout (reported seat count: 8) intended for corporate transport and medium- to long-range business missions. The flight deck is equipped with a Collins Pro Line / ProLine-class advanced avionics suite, a common fit for the type, supporting modern navigation, situational awareness and autoland-capable operational profiles in many jurisdictions. Typical missions for this installation profile include transcontinental and transoceanic business travel within the Challenger 350 performance envelope, leveraging the 3,200 nm range and high-speed cruise of 459 kts to connect major metropolitan hubs. Maintenance considerations for this specific aircraft would follow Challenger 350 scheduled inspections and Honeywell HTF-class engine shop visit profiles, with additional records management expected given corporate finance ownership.

The Bombardier Challenger 350 (BD-100-1A10) occupies the super-midsize business jet sector, prized for a balance of range, cabin comfort and runway performance. Competing models include late-generation Gulfstream G150/G280 variants and certain Embraer Praetor/Legacy configurations in mission capabilities. Buyer and charter demand for 2018-model Challenger 350s tends to favor corporate flight departments, charter operators and fractional programs; resale and maintenance considerations commonly center on engine time, landing cycles, avionics updates and the aircraft’s documented ownership/maintenance history as exemplified by a finance-company owner such as CUSTOMERS COMMERCIAL FINANCE LLC.
