Overview

This airframe, registered as N141RD, is a Canadair-built Challenger 600 series business jet completed in 1982 with manufacturer serial number 1041. The aircraft is recorded as owned by Global Air Choice LLC, an LLC based in Sarasota, FL, US, which serves as the operator/home base for the airframe as listed. The airframe retains its original Canadair (later Bombardier) lineage and has an executive-configured interior noted in broker listings; no separate records of other ownership transfers or notable registry actions are published in the supplied data. Condition and valuation highlights are limited to broker-described cabin and avionics fit; no independent appraisal or current market value was provided.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin for this specific Challenger 600 airframe is listed in broker materials in an executive layout for 11-13 passengers, featuring dual double-club seats, a 3-place couch, a 4-place conference group, a forward galley and an aft lavatory; the broker listing notes the configuration is suitable for traditional corporate charter and owner-flown executive transport. Avionics equipment described for this airframe includes Lynx ADS-B Out, dual Universal UNS-1C displays, Collins communications and navigation (VHF/DME), Sperry flight guidance/autopilot components, and a Primus 400 weather radar with SAT/ACARS options as fitted per the broker listing. Typical missions for this platform given its range and cruise performance include transcontinental and near-international executive flights; maintenance considerations for this airframe would focus on the ALF-502 series turbofan support and avionics option set as configured.

Model & Market Context

The Canadair CL-600-1A11 Challenger 600 occupies a mid-size corporate jet niche characterized by long-range capability and a spacious cabin for its era, with this example offering roughly 2,909 nm range and a 442 kts cruise. Competing models in the market context historically include other late-1970s to 1980s transcontinental business jets; buyer and charter demand for well-equipped, refurbished Challengers centers on cabin comfort and systems updates. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe hinge on the ALF-502 engine program, airframe maintenance history, and the desirability of the installed avionics and interior as described in broker listings.
