N123Q2016 Bombardier Challenger 350

Overview

This entry describes airframe N123Q, a 2016-built Bombardier Challenger 350 (BD-100-1A10) with manufacturer's serial number 20616. The aircraft was manufactured by Bombardier Inc. and is recorded as owned by Wilmington Trust Co Trustee, a corporate trustee based in Wilmington, DE, US, and carries a United States registration. The aircraft’s registration and ownership records note its trustee ownership in Wilmington, Delaware, a common holding structure for corporate and leasing arrangements.

Operations & Cabin

This specific Challenger 350 is configured in an executive eight-passenger layout typical for the type, featuring a forward galley and an aft belted lavatory suited to an 8-place cabin. Avionics are fitted with the Collins Pro Line 21 suite (Pro Line 21 Advanced), a standard fit that supports long-range corporate and charter operations. With a 3,200 nm range and a 459 kt cruise, the aircraft is typically employed on transcontinental point-to-point business missions and high-speed intercity charters; its 45,000 ft ceiling supports efficient, long-range cruise profiles. Maintenance and operational oversight for this airframe are conducted under the owning trustee structure, which may centralize records and maintenance decision-making for corporate or third-party operator arrangements.

Model & Market Context

The Bombardier Challenger 350 (BD-100-1A10) occupies the super-midsize business jet segment, offering a blend of transcontinental range, high cruise speed, and a spacious executive cabin for up to eight passengers in this installation. It competes with models such as the Gulfstream G280 and the Embraer Praetor family for buyers seeking balanced range and cabin comfort without the operating costs of larger long-range types. Demand in the secondary market typically focuses on airframes with complete maintenance records and upgraded avionics; the Pro Line 21 fit and trustee-held ownership of this example are factors that influence resale and charter desirability. Maintenance considerations follow type-specific schedules for the Honeywell HTF7350 engines and Bombardier structural and system inspections consistent with 2016 production models.
