Model & Market Context

The airframe registered as N258QS is a 2023-built Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16), serial number 6193, and is recorded in U.S. registry. The aircraft is owned by DESMOND BEACH AVIATION LLC, a co-owned entity based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and operates under U.S. registration. The registry notes a transport-certified seating configuration of 22 seats despite a common executive cabin fit; maintenance and valuation records reference the type’s recent build year and modern avionics package as condition and market-positive attributes. No public record of additional ownership transfers is provided in the supplied data.

This specific Challenger 650 is equipped with a typical executive cabin intended for 9–12 passengers in normal business layouts, though registry documentation lists the airframe as transport-certified with 22 seats. The avionics fit for the airframe is Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced, supporting modern IFR operations and advanced flight-management capabilities. Based from Oklahoma City, OK, the aircraft’s combination of 4,000 nm range and 459 kts cruise speed suits long-distance executive missions and cross-continental ferry flights within U.S. and international schedules consistent with a fixed-wing multi-engine category operator. As a 2023 build, maintenance considerations emphasize current-life-cycle support and warranty/parts pathways associated with a recent production airframe and its installed engine model.

As a member of the Challenger 600 series lineage, this Bombardier Challenger 650 (CL-600-2B16) airframe presents a performance profile characterized by transcontinental range (4,000 nm), high cruise speed (459 kts), and a high-service ceiling (41,000 ft). The twin GE CF34-3B engines rated at 9,220 lbf each underpin the platform’s long-range, high-speed mission set while the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced avionics reflect contemporary operational capability. For buyers and operators, considerations for this specific 2023 airframe include its transport-certified seating count (22) versus typical executive fit, recent manufacture date, and associated support/maintenance pathways for newer-build Challenger airframes.
