N997WC

The airframe bearing registration N997WC is a Bombardier Challenger 300 (BD-100-1A10) built by Bombardier Aerospace in 2009, serial number 20269. It is owned by Waste Connections US Inc, a corporation based in the The Woodlands / Houston area, TX, US, and is registered in the US. Operational records for this specific airframe indicate a corporate/operator base consistent with its owner's Houston-area location; no other ownership transfers or registry actions are published in the provided data. The airframe is a standard corporate-configured Challenger 300 noted for its executive layout and typical mission use in domestic business transport.

The cabin of N997WC is fitted in an Executive VIP layout, with a typical 8–10 passenger double-club arrangement, a forward galley, a belted lavatory and 106 cu ft of baggage space. Avionics are the typical Challenger 300 fit of Collins / Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, supporting single-pilot capable advanced flight management and enhanced situational awareness for corporate missions. Typical operations for this airframe would include U.S. regional and transcontinental business trips within its 3,100 nm range and operating altitudes up to 45,000 ft, flown from bases in the Houston/The Woodlands area under corporate operator control. Maintenance considerations align with the HTF7000 turbofan family and Pro Line 21-integrated systems, driven by corporate scheduling and regulatory requirements for U.S.-registered corporate aircraft.

The Bombardier Challenger 300 (BD-100-1A10) occupies the light-cabin, super-midsize performance niche, offering transcontinental range near 3,100 nm and high cruise speed around 459 kts, competing with aircraft such as the Citation X series and Gulfstream G280 in mission capability. Demand among buyers and charter operators focuses on cabin comfort, range, and runway performance; maintenance and resale considerations hinge on HTF7000 engine shop visits and avionics maturity—Pro Line 21 remains a widely supported integrated avionics suite. For corporate owners like Waste Connections US Inc, the platform balances passenger capacity (noted 10 seats typical of executive fit) with operational flexibility for domestic business routes.
