N726RF Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
The Bombardier Challenger 604 delivers 459 knots at cruise altitude with 4,000 nautical miles of range. N726RF's 2x GE CF34-3B produce 9,220 lbs per side, supporting an operating ceiling of 41,000 feet. That altitude keeps the aircraft above most turbulence and commercial traffic.
Mission Profile
N726RF's Bombardier Challenger 604 cabin accommodates 12 passengers across 28.3 ft of usable length. At 8.2 ft wide and 6.1 ft tall, the cross-section allows comfortable club seating, a conference group, and a divan for longer flights.
Charter Authorization
N726RF's Part 135 certificate covers on-demand charter. The Bombardier Challenger 604 handles the corporate missions that midsize jets cannot: larger passenger groups, longer legs, and the cabin volume for all-day travel.
Insider Note
The Bombardier Challenger 604's 2x GE CF34-3B have one of the longest track records in business aviation. Maintenance program enrollment is standard for active charter aircraft like N726RF. Buyers should verify engine program status and remaining hours before acquisition, as enrollment directly affects resale value.
