N262QS

The airframe bearing tail number N262QS is a Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 650 built in 2023 with serial 6197. It is owned by AP NS HOLDINGS LLC, a limited liability company based in Oklahoma City, OK, US, and is registered in the US. As a current-production-year example of the Challenger 650 platform, this airframe presents a recent-build condition and modern systems fit consistent with its delivery-year pedigree.

This specific Challenger 650 is configured with a typical executive cabin accommodating 9–12 passengers in a standard layout while being certified for up to 22 seats, allowing flexibility for executive transport or higher-density seating when required. The onboard avionics suite is the advanced Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21, supporting modern flight-deck capabilities and operational efficiency. With a 4,000 nm range and a cruise speed of 425 kts, the aircraft is capable of long-range point-to-point missions from its operator base in Oklahoma City, including transcontinental and high-end regional missions. The twin GE CF34-3B engines are central to maintenance planning and operational economics for this airframe, influencing inspection cycles, shop visit timing, and parts logistics for the owner-operator.

As a member of the Bombardier CL-600-2B16 Challenger 650 family, this airframe occupies the super-midsize executive jet niche, offering transcontinental range and a high-cabin capacity with the option to carry up to 22 occupants. Its performance profile — a 4,000 nm range, 425 kts cruise, and 41,000 ft ceiling — positions it for owners seeking a balance of range, speed, and cabin volume. The recent build year (2023) and Pro Line 21 avionics enhance desirability on the secondary market and simplify short-term maintenance forecasting, while the CF34-3B engines remain a primary consideration in lifecycle cost modeling for resale and operator planning.
