RADAR ESTIMATE

What N188CR is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Bombardier Challenger 604 on its own yet, so this borrows the Gulfstream G450 curve, scales it to N188CR's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this specific Challenger 604 is configured in an executive charter layout for 9 passengers, featuring a forward full-service galley and an enclosed aft lavatory. Avionics fit is not published for this specific airframe. Operated from its registered base in Las Vegas, NV, the aircraft’s combination of 3,756 nm range and 459 kt cruise speed allows for typical medium- to long-range executive charter missions within continental and transcontinental sectors from its home base. Maintenance considerations for this airframe center on the twin General Electric CF34 (CF34-3B series) engines and systems common to the Challenger 604 series, reflecting the service history and parts support expected for a 2001-built airframe.

Model & Market Context

This airframe, as a Bombardier Challenger 604 (CL-600-2B16), occupies the fixed-wing multi-engine executive charter category, balancing transcontinental range with a nine-passenger executive cabin.
