861 Bombardier Challenger 300/350s are currently on the FAA registry, all carrying the same FAA type designation (BD-100-1A10) across the original Challenger 300 and the later, more fuel-efficient Challenger 350 update. It has been one of the best-selling super-midsize jets of the last two decades, with a large charter and fractional-ownership presence alongside private owners.
Why a high-turnover fleet needs a history check
Heavy charter and fractional use means many Challenger 300/350 airframes change hands, and change hands more than once, over a relatively short production run. That turnover is exactly where a current-tail-only search falls short: the FAA can reissue a cancelled N-number to a different airframe after five years (14 CFR 47.15/47.17), so checking only today's registration can miss an accident filed under a prior tail -- or wrongly attach a different jet's history to the one you're buying. Only a serial-number cross-match tells the two apart.
What a $79 report adds
Current FAA registration status, prior registrants, recent FAA filings (bills of sale, security agreements/liens), full NTSB accident and incident history, and the serial-number cross-match that catches an accident hiding under a prior tail number.
