N176WC2016 Bombardier Challenger 350 / 3500

Overview

This entry covers airframe N176WC, a 2016-built Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350 / 3500 with serial number 20654. The aircraft is manufactured by Bombardier Inc. and is registered to Wca Holdings IV LLC, an LLC based in Missoula, MT, US, operating under U.S. registry.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of N176WC is fitted in the typical 8-passenger double-club layout on a flat floor, with the type commonly capable of optional 9-10 passenger configurations and belted lavatory options on some builds. Avionics aboard are documented as Collins Pro Line 21, consistent with the Challenger 350/3500 family where Pro Line 21 or its advanced derivatives are commonly installed for business-jet operations. With a long-range capability of 3,200 nm and a cruise speed near 459 kts, this airframe is regularly suited to transcontinental and near-international missions from its operator base in Missoula, MT and other regional hubs, fulfilling typical corporate transport, charter, and shuttle roles. Maintenance considerations follow the HTF7350 engine family programs and Bombardier airframe support for mid-life inspections and interior refurbishments.

Model & Market Context

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350 / 3500 occupies the super-midsize business jet niche, balancing transcontinental range, cabin comfort, and runway performance for owner-operators and charter firms. Competing models include mid- to super-midsize jets from Gulfstream, Dassault, and Embraer; the Challenger’s value proposition centers on a roomy flat-floor cabin and established support network. Buyers and fleet managers consider HTF7350 engine life limits, scheduled component checks, and Pro Line 21 avionics upgrades when assessing maintenance reserves and resale prospects for examples like N176WC.
