N247QS

This entry documents airframe N247QS, a Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) built in 2021 with serial number 6171. The aircraft is owned by — and operated within the portfolio of — NetJets Sales Inc, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US and registered in the US. As a relatively recent production Challenger 650, this airframe reflects the factory fit and avionics common to late-production examples and remains in company service under the NetJets ownership structure.

The aircraft features an executive two-zone cabin configured to a typical NetJets executive layout, accommodating commonly 8–12 pax depending on interior fit. Avionics are the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, providing an advanced integrated flight deck consistent with Challenger 650 operational standards. With a long-range capability of 4,000 nm and a cruise speed near 459 kts, this airframe is well suited to transcontinental and long overwater missions commonly flown by fractional and corporate operators. Maintenance and operational planning for this specific airframe centers on the twin GE CF34-3B MTO engines and the Pro Line 21 avionics architecture, both of which influence inspection cycles, spares provisioning, and support arrangements under NetJets’ program management.

The Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) occupies a mid-size business jet niche defined by long-range capability and a two-zone executive cabin, as reflected in this 2021 airframe’s 4,000 nm range and 41,000 ft ceiling. Its performance and avionics fit make it attractive to fractional ownership operators and corporate fleets seeking a balance of intercontinental reach and cabin comfort. For this specific airframe, recent build year (2021) and NetJets ownership underscore favorable program-level maintenance support and asset utilization considerations that affect operational availability and market positioning.
