RADAR ESTIMATE

What N1038S is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Bombardier Challenger 605 on its own yet, so this borrows the Gulfstream G450 curve, scales it to N1038S's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N1038S

Compiled with AI assistance from the public sources listed below, November 2025. Not checked against the aircraft's logbooks.

Overview

This airframe, N1038S, is a 2008-built Bombardier Challenger 605 (CL-600-2B16) with serial number 5782. The airframe is owned by 1038S LLC, a corporation based in Austin, TX, US, and carries United States registration. Notable administrative highlights include its corporate ownership and U.S. registration, with no other historical owners or transfers published in the supplied data.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin is described as a typical executive layout for 10-12 passengers with two cabin zones and an enclosed lavatory, while the type certificate permits up to 22 seats; the certified seating count differs from the usual executive interior configuration. Avionics fit is the Rockwell Collins / Collins Pro Line 21 suite, a common installation for CL-600-2B16 aircraft and suited to advanced IFR and long-range business operations. Typical missions for this airframe profile include transcontinental and North American regional executive transport, leveraging the 4,045 nm range and 471 kt cruise speed for efficient point-to-point travel. Based in Austin, TX, the operator is likely to employ the aircraft for corporate travel patterns, with attendant maintenance considerations following Bombardier service protocols for CF34-powered Challenger series jets.

Model & Market Context

The Bombardier Challenger 605 family occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche, offering a balance of transcontinental range and cabin comfort. Competitors in this sector include other large-cabin types that target corporate and charter buyers seeking similar range and capacity. Market demand for a 2008 Challenger 605 with Pro Line 21 avionics and executive layout generally emphasizes reliability, cabin utility and CF34 engine supportability; resale and maintenance considerations are driven by engine-hour cycles, avionics generation and interior refurbishments, factors reflected in the aircraft valuation above.
