N573FX Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
N573FX operates in the super-midsize segment where range and cabin size approach heavy-jet territory at lower operating costs. The Bombardier Challenger 300 covers 3,100 NM at 470 knots behind 2x Honeywell HTF7000 producing 6,826 lbs each.
Mission Profile
For operators who need more cabin than a midsize jet but less operating cost than a heavy, the Bombardier Challenger 300 fills the gap. N573FX seats 10 passengers with 25.2 ft of cabin length and 7.2 ft width for productive travel.
Charter Authorization
This Bombardier Challenger 300 is authorized for on-demand charter under N573FX's Part 135 certificate. Super-midsize jets are the most popular charter category for corporate travel. Contact us for a quote on this specific aircraft.
Insider Note
Avionics upgrade status is the single biggest variable in Bombardier Challenger 300 resale values. N573FX's 2015 build year places it at a specific point in the production run. Buyers should verify whether the cockpit has been upgraded to current ADS-B and FANS/CPDLC standards, as non-upgraded airframes face increasing airspace restrictions.
Charter & Acquisition Briefing
Registration N573FX is a 2015 Challenger 350 held by FLEXJET LLC. Bombardier has delivered over 800 Challenger 300/350/3500 aircraft. This briefing covers why the 350 dominates the super-mid charter market.
Fleet Position
Over 800 Challenger 300/350/3500 aircraft are in service globally, with approximately 350 on U.S. registrations. FAA data shows N573FX based in CLEVELAND, OH. The Challenger 350 is the most-chartered super-midsize jet in North America. Fleet density ensures availability in every major market, and the 350's popularity means crew pools are deep and positioning costs are competitive.
Charter Availability
N573FX is Part 135 charter authorized. Challenger 350 charter rates range from $5,000 to $7,000 per flight hour. The 350 sits at the price-performance sweet spot: enough cabin for 8 to 10 passengers, 3,200 nm range for coast-to-coast nonstop, and Mach 0.83 cruise that matches large-cabin jets at 30% lower hourly rates. Positioning from CLEVELAND adds $3,000 to $6,000.
Market Position
N573FX is a 2015 Challenger 350, the upgraded variant Bombardier introduced in 2014 with HTF7350 engines, improved range, canted winglets, and the enhanced Collins Pro Line 21 avionics. Pre-owned values sit at $11M to $16M. Early 350s are in peak demand: modern capability with significant depreciation from the $27M list price.
The early 350 represents the sweet spot for super-mid acquisition. Enough depreciation to save $10M+ versus new, but modern enough that avionics, cabin, and engines are fully current-generation. Budget $650,000 to $850,000 annually for total operating costs at 400 hours including crew, hangar, insurance, and maintenance reserves.
Mission Profile
Core strength: transcontinental range at super-mid pricing. New York to Los Angeles for $25,000 to $35,000 per leg with 8 passengers is $3,000 to $4,400 per person in a flat-floor cabin with catered service. That per-person cost undercuts business class on major carriers while eliminating connections, security lines, and schedule dependency. For frequent coast-to-coast travelers, the economics speak for themselves.
When to Choose Something Else
Do not charter a Challenger 350 for mountain airports with runways under 5,500 feet. Takeoff distance at sea level is approximately 4,835 feet, but that increases significantly at elevation. Aspen (7,006 ft runway, 7,820 ft elevation) is achievable but may require payload restrictions in summer. For routine short-field access, a Pilatus PC-12 or Phenom 300 provides more margin.
Ownership & Operations
Part 91 operations cover owner-flown and company-flown aircraft under general operating rules. Part 135 governs on-demand air charter, requiring higher crew qualifications, maintenance standards, and operational oversight. An aircraft can operate under both parts: Part 91 for owner use and Part 135 when offered for charter revenue. Dual-use arrangements offset ownership costs by generating charter income during idle periods.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Pre-purchase inspections are non-negotiable in aircraft acquisitions. A qualified maintenance facility conducts a detailed review of airframe, engines, avionics, and records. Inspection costs range from $15,000 to $75,000 depending on aircraft size and complexity. Findings from the pre-buy determine final pricing, identify upcoming maintenance events, and reveal any damage history that affects value.
Charter Market Context
Charter demand for business jets follows seasonal and economic patterns. Q4 (October through December) sees peak demand driven by year-end business travel, holiday flights, and tax planning (asset purchases before December 31). Q1 starts strong with CES, Davos, and Super Bowl driving specific route demand. Summer leisure travel to resort destinations creates predictable seasonal corridors.
