N251QS

The airframe bearing tail number N251QS is a Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) built in 2022 with serial 6178. It is registered in the United States and is recorded as owned by GMAC AIR LLC in a Co-Ownership arrangement based in Columbus, OH, US. The entry reflects a relatively new-build aircraft for the Challenger 650 line with contemporary systems and a 22-seat registration note, and its ownership structure suggests shared operational use. No additional registry actions or valuation data are published in the supplied dataset.

This specific Challenger 650 is equipped with a typical executive cabin layout for 9–12 passengers with two crew, although registration notes list 22 seats, indicating either a high-density seating certification or alternate configuration options for this airframe. Avionics are fitted with the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 (Advanced) suite, providing modern navigation, communication and flight management capabilities suitable for long-range corporate missions. Typical mission profiles for this aircraft include transcontinental and intercontinental business transport given its 4,000 nm range and cruise speed of 424 kts, operating from the owner/operator base in Columbus, OH. Maintenance considerations for this airframe reflect standard Challenger 650 practices, with attention to CF34 series engine support and Pro Line 21 avionics serviceability.

The Bombardier Challenger 650 occupies the large-cabin, long-range business jet niche within Bombardier’s Challenger family, offering transcontinental capability and flexible cabin arrangements. Competing models in this segment include derivatives of large-cabin business jets that emphasize range and cabin comfort; buyers and charter operators typically value the Challenger 650 for its balance of payload, range and cabin size. For this particular late-build 2022 airframe, resale and charter demand would be influenced by its modern avionics fit, recent manufacture date, and the CF34-3B engine commonality, while co-ownership structures may affect marketability and utilization patterns.
