N99CT

This entry covers the specific Bombardier Challenger airframe bearing tail number N99CT, a 1998-built example, manufacturer serial 5367. The airframe is US-registered and owned by IAPETUS AETOS LLC (a Houston, TX-based corporation), which is the recorded legal owner and operator/home base association for this registration. No separate public record of notable registry transactions or condition-based valuations is provided in the supplied data; valuation and detailed condition notes are not published here. The airframe is representative of late-1990s Challenger 604 production and retains typical systems and equipment for its build year.

The cabin for this Challenger 604 airframe is described as a typical two-zone executive layout, with common executive fits accommodating 9–12 passengers and certified seating configurations up to approximately 22 seats depending on the customer interior. The typical avionics fit for this model is the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 4, which supports conventional long-range business jet operations and IFR charter or corporate mission sets. With a cruise speed of 459 kts and a published range of 4,033 nm, this airframe is routinely deployed on transcontinental and some transoceanic missions within its performance envelope. No unique on-board amenities or bespoke maintenance considerations beyond standard Challenger 604 characteristics are noted in the supplied data.

The Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche within Bombardier’s Challenger family, offering a balance of range, payload and cabin comfort for corporate and charter operators. Competing models in the same market segment include derivatives of the Gulfstream and late-model large-cabin offerings from Dassault and Embraer; buyers and charter customers typically value the Challenger 604 for cabin volume and transcontinental capability. Maintenance and resale considerations for a 1998-built airframe center on airframe hours, engine cycles on the CF34-3B engines, and avionics upgrade paths from the typical Pro Line 4 suite, all factors that materially affect serviceability and market demand.
