N815CX Aircraft Overview
Performance Profile
The Bombardier Challenger 300 delivers 470-knot cruise speed and 3,100 NM range. N815CX is powered by 2x Honeywell HTF7000, each producing 6,826 lbs. This performance envelope covers coast-to-coast U.S. routing and most Caribbean destinations nonstop.
Mission Profile
The Bombardier Challenger 300 competes in the fastest-growing segment of business aviation. N815CX provides 10-seat capacity at 25.2 ft by 7.2 ft by 6.1 ft. Coast-to-coast range with a midsize operating cost profile is the value proposition.
Charter Authorization
N815CX is Part 135 certified for on-demand charter. The Bombardier Challenger 300's transcontinental range and spacious cabin make it one of the most requested super-midsize platforms. Contact us for availability.
Insider Note
Avionics upgrade status is the single biggest variable in Bombardier Challenger 300 resale values. N815CX's 2013 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
N815CX is a 2013 Bombardier Challenger 350 registered to CONEXON LLC. The 350 redefined the super-midsize category. Here is the charter and acquisition intelligence for this airframe.
Fleet Position
Over 800 Challenger 300/350/3500 aircraft are in service globally, with approximately 350 on U.S. registrations. FAA data shows N815CX based in KANSAS CITY, MO. 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
N815CX 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 KANSAS CITY adds $3,000 to $6,000.
Market Position
N815CX is a 2013 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
Optimized for the mission set between midsize and large-cabin: coast-to-coast with groups of 6 to 10 passengers. The 350 delivers 90% of a Challenger 650's passenger experience at 60% of the operating cost. For companies that fly transcontinental 20+ times per year but cannot justify a $32M large-cabin jet, the 350 is the intersection of capability and fiscal discipline.
When to Choose Something Else
Skip the Challenger 350 for transatlantic missions. The 3,200 nm range falls short of nonstop from New York to London (3,450 nm). A fuel stop in Gander, Goose Bay, or Reykjavik adds 90 minutes. For regular Europe routing, a G550 or Global 6000 eliminates the stop. If transatlantic is occasional, the fuel stop is an acceptable tradeoff.
Ownership & Operations
Aircraft ownership in the United States falls under FAA registration requirements. Every U.S.-registered aircraft carries an N-number that links to public records including owner name, address, airworthiness date, and certificate type. The FAA Aircraft Registry maintains this data and updates it as aircraft change hands. Prospective buyers use these records to verify ownership history, lien status, and maintenance compliance before committing to an acquisition.
Pre-Purchase Considerations
Avionics modernization drives both capability and market value. Aircraft with legacy analog instruments trade at significant discounts to those with modern glass cockpits (Garmin G5000, Collins Pro Line Fusion, Honeywell Primus Epic). ADS-B Out compliance is now mandatory in U.S. controlled airspace. Buyers should factor avionics upgrade costs into their acquisition budget when evaluating older airframes.
Charter Market Context
Empty leg pricing offers 25 to 75% discounts on published charter rates. These opportunities arise when an aircraft needs to reposition from a drop-off point back to base or to the next pickup location. The tradeoff is schedule inflexibility: departure time, date, and route are fixed by the operator's existing itinerary. The Jet Finder maintains an empty leg alert system for frequent charter clients.
