N249QS

This entry describes the specific Bombardier Challenger 650 airframe registered as N249QS, serial 6173, operated under United States registration. The aircraft is recorded as owned by the corporation F9 INVESTMENTS LLC, located in Oklahoma City, OK, US; this ownership is the primary documented custodial detail for the airframe. The Challenger 650 configuration and registration identify it as a US-registered, fixed-wing multi-engine business jet with corporate ownership rather than individual private ownership. Public registry filings for this tail number indicate standard corporate custody with no additional historic transactions provided in the supplied data.

The documented cabin for this Challenger 650 is a typical 10–12‑place executive layout within a wide cabin measuring approximately ~6.1 ft H × 8.2 ft W × ~28.5 ft L, and the specific airframe is noted as a 12-seat example. Avionics aboard this airframe are listed as Collins Pro Line 21 (Pro Line 21 Advanced), a fit consistent with advanced navigation and systems integration expected in the model. With the specified range of 3,756 nm and cruise of 459 kts, typical missions for this airframe would align with medium- to long-range executive transport profiles; the twin General Electric CF34-3B engines rated at 9,220 lbf each support the performance envelope up to the documented service ceiling of 41,000 ft. Maintenance considerations for this corporate-owned airframe follow from its type rating and systems fit, with corporate basing implied by the owner location in Oklahoma City, OK, US.

This airframe, a Bombardier Challenger 650, sits within a family defined by the supplied performance figures—range 3,756 nm, cruise 459 kts, and a 41,000 ft ceiling—representing its operational niche for transcontinental executive missions. The twin General Electric CF34-3B engines and Collins Pro Line 21 avionics suite reflect the aircraft’s positioning for operators valuing established turbofan powerplants and integrated flight decks. For corporate owners such as F9 INVESTMENTS LLC, considerations for continued operation and resale hinge on documented configuration, avionics standardization, and engine type as recorded for this specific serial 6173.
