The aircraft is owned by MOCHA LLC, a corporate owner based in Tucson, AZ, and is registered in the US civil registry.

The cabin of N696HS is outfitted in a typical 2-zone executive layout with a forward galley and an aft lavatory; the fitted interior follows the common 10-passenger club/divan configuration. Avionics are provided by the Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite, with the Pro Line 21 Advanced common upgrade installed, supporting modern navigation, communication and flight management requirements. With a long-range capability of 4,045 nm and a cruise speed near 459 kts, the aircraft is well-suited to transcontinental and short intercontinental corporate missions, frequently employed for executive transport and on-demand charter where range and cabin comfort are priorities. Operator maintenance considerations for this airframe center on upkeep of the twin General Electric CF34-3B turbofans and avionics commonality to preserve dispatch reliability.

The Bombardier Challenger 605 sits in the large-cabin, long-range business-jet niche, offering a balance of transcontinental range, cabin volume and operating flexibility. In the market it competes with other large-cabin types offering similar mission capability, and demand tends to come from corporate owner-operators and charter operators seeking comfortable ten-passenger layouts. Resale and maintenance considerations for a 2009 Challenger 605 such as N696HS typically emphasize engine time on the CF34-3B fleet string, avionics upgrade parity like Pro Line 21 Advanced, and documented maintenance to support a mid-to-high single-digit million dollar valuation.
