RADAR ESTIMATE

What N18RC is worth, and where it’s heading.

Radar's value model doesn't cover the Canadair Challenger 604 on its own yet, so this borrows the Gulfstream G450 curve, scales it to N18RC's listing-based estimate and widens the range to match. An estimate, not an appraisal.

RESEARCH NOTES

About N18RC

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

Overview

This article describes airframe N18RC, a Canadair-built business jet completed in 1996 as serial number 5315. The airframe is a Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 manufactured by Canadair Ltd (Bombardier) and is owned by BRR Aviation LLC, an LLC based in Houston, TX, US. Ownership is recorded to BRR Aviation LLC and the aircraft remains certificated for U.S. registry.

Operations & Cabin

The cabin of this specific Challenger 604 reflects the type’s common executive fit with a typical 10-12 passenger executive layout including a forward galley, an enclosed lavatory, and two cabin zones, while remaining certificated up to 22 seats. Operator avionics fits for the model typically include Collins Pro Line installations; this airframe is consistent with operator-level fits such as Pro Line 4/Pro Line Fusion for mission avionics. Typical mission profiles for the platform, given the installed engines and fuel capability, emphasize medium- to long-range business travel up to the certified ceiling of 41,000 ft and a range of 4,033 nm from its Houston-based ownership. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect its age and engine type, with continuing values and operational economics captured in the stated market valuation.

Model & Market Context

As a member of the Canadair/Bombardier Challenger 600-series family, the Canadair CL-600-2B16 Challenger 604 occupies a mid-size business jet niche characterized here by transcontinental range, twin CF34-series turbofan powerplants, and a cabin certificated for up to 22 seats. The combination of its 459 kts cruise capability and the installed avionics options positions this airframe for conventional corporate, charter, or owner-operated missions.
