N1CA Aircraft Overview
N1CA is a Bombardier Challenger 300 registered in the United States with serial number on file. The Bombardier Challenger 300 occupies the super-midsize category, bridging the performance gap between traditional midsize jets and large-cabin heavy platforms.
Bombardier Challenger 300 Market Position
The Challenger 300 entered the super-midsize market in 2004, offering 3,100 nautical miles of range and a flat-floor cabin with stand-up headroom. It was Bombardier's first clean-sheet business jet design in two decades. The type sold well against the Citation Sovereign and Hawker 4000.
Performance Profile
The Bombardier Challenger 300 cruises at 470 knots and achieves a maximum range of 3100 nautical miles. That envelope covers coast-to-coast U.S. routes and most Caribbean or Central American destinations nonstop from mainland airports. Power comes from 2x Honeywell HTF7000. A 45000-foot service ceiling keeps the aircraft above congested airspace and most weather systems.
Mission Profile
Super-midsize jets fill a specific operational gap: passengers who need transcontinental range and a stand-up cabin without the acquisition and operating costs of a heavy jet. The Bombardier Challenger 300 seats up to 10 in a flat-floor cabin with enough room for a productive work environment or comfortable rest on legs exceeding four hours.
Charter Authorization
N1CA is not currently listed on a Part 135 certificate in the FAA D085 database. The aircraft operates under Part 91 as a private or corporate flight. Charter availability for this model can be arranged through operators in our network.
Insider Note
Super-midsize jets often operate from the same runway lengths as midsize aircraft but carry significantly more fuel and payload. For operators considering an upgrade from a midsize platform, the super-mid category delivers measurably more range without requiring access to longer runways.

Frequently Asked Questions About N1CA
16 questions answered about this aircraft and the Bombardier Challenger 300
N1CA is a 2012 Bombardier Challenger 300 (Challenger 300) registered in the United States. It carries serial number on file with the FAA and is classified as a super midsize jet in the private aviation market.
N1CA is a Bombardier Challenger 300 (Challenger 300). The Bombardier Challenger 300 is a super midsize jet platform with a range of 3,100 nautical miles. Bombardier has a well-established support network for this airframe.
The Bombardier Challenger 300 is powered by 2x Honeywell HTF7000, each producing 6,826 lbs. Engine maintenance programs from the manufacturer spread overhaul costs across flight hours, making operating expenses predictable. The powerplant supports a service ceiling of 45,000 feet.
The Bombardier Challenger 300 has a maximum cruise speed of 470 knots. Long-range cruise is 430 kts. At these speeds, a three-hour flight covers approximately 1410 nautical miles, connecting most major city pairs within its range envelope.
The Bombardier Challenger 300 (Challenger 300) has an approximate range of 3,100 nautical miles. This translates to nonstop coverage of transatlantic routes including New York to London, or Los Angeles to Honolulu. At a cruise speed of approximately 470 knots, total block times remain competitive for the category.
The Bombardier Challenger 300 seats up to 10 passengers in a typical charter configuration. The cabin measures 25.2 ft long, 7.2 ft wide, and 6.1 ft tall. The cabin accommodates productive work or rest on flights of typical duration.
The Bombardier Challenger 300 has a maximum service ceiling of 45,000 feet (FL450). At this altitude, the aircraft operates above commercial traffic and most weather systems. The pressurization system maintains a cabin altitude of approximately 5,500-6,500 feet at maximum cruise altitude, reducing passenger fatigue on long flights.
Yes. The Bombardier Challenger 300 is fully certified for IFR (Instrument Flight Rules) operations. It is equipped with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics avionics, supporting precision approaches, RNAV/GPS navigation, FANS/CPDLC for oceanic operations, and ADS-B Out compliance. All Part 135 charter operations require two instrument-rated pilots.
The Bombardier Challenger 300 cabin measures 25.2 ft long, 7.2 ft wide, and 6.1 ft tall. The flat-floor, stand-up cabin allows passengers to move freely without stooping. Baggage capacity is 106 cu ft.
The Bombardier Challenger 300 has 106 cu ft of baggage volume in an externally accessible, heated and pressurized compartment. This accommodates 10+ full-size suitcases or a combination of luggage, garment bags, and sporting equipment. The compartment does not intrude on cabin space.
The Bombardier Challenger 300 is equipped with Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 avionics. This integrated flight deck provides enhanced situational awareness, synthetic vision, TCAS II, and weather radar.
