N1980Z2005 Bombardier Challenger 300

Overview

The airframe bearing tail number N1980Z is a 2005-built Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 (serial 20049) manufactured by Bombardier Inc.. The airframe presents as a typical mid-2000s Challenger 300 example with an executive eight-seat configuration and Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics fitments reported; no other notable registry actions or valuation figures are published for this specific airframe. Operator activity centers on its owner/operator in Centennial, CO, with routine business and private transport missions consistent with its range and performance.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of N1980Z is a typical eight-place executive layout with a forward galley, an enclosed aft lavatory and an in-flight accessible external baggage compartment, supporting point-to-point business missions and owner-operated travel. Avionics are reported as Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, with various Pro Line 21 and advanced fitments noted across this airframe’s examples, enabling modern flight management, navigation and cockpit situational awareness. Typical mission profiles exploit the aircraft’s approximately 3,100 nm range and high-speed cruise of about 459 kts for transcontinental U.S. hops or continental international sectors; operations generally originate from the owner’s Centennial, CO base. Maintenance considerations follow standard Challenger 300 schedules for HTF7000-family engines and Pro Line avionics upkeep; in-service history and specific maintenance records for this serial are not published here.

Model & Market Context

The Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 300 occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a blend of transcontinental range, near-Mach cruise speeds and a comfortable eight-place cabin. Competing models include late-model Cessna Citation X/Excel variants and Gulfstream/Gulfstream G280-class aircraft in terms of mission profile and buyer interest. Demand from owner-operators and charter brokers historically focuses on reliability of HTF7000-family engines and the aircraft’s avionics fit; resale and maintenance considerations for this 2005 airframe center on engine cycles, Pro Line 21 system condition and overall cabin refurbishment state.
