N781QS

This entry describes the specific airframe registered as N781QS, a Bombardier Challenger 350 (BD-100-1A10) completed in 2015 with manufacturer serial number 20570. The airframe is owned by NetJets, a corporation based in the United States, and is registry-marked US. Notable registry actions beyond standard U.S. registration are not published in the supplied data; the aircraft's book valuation at the time of reporting is $14,844,199, which reflects its condition and market position for a mid-2010s light/medium business jet.

The airframe is fitted in an 8-passenger executive layout, configured for short- to long-range corporate and fractional ownership missions typical of a NetJets operation. The onboard avionics suite is the Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced, supporting modern flight management and situational awareness for crewed operations. With a maximum cruise of 459 kts and an operational range of 3,200 nm, the aircraft is suited to transcontinental missions and longer regional hops that are common to fractional ownership and corporate shuttle profiles. Maintenance planning will follow manufacturer and operator schedules for the HONEYWELL AS907-2-1A turbofans and Pro Line 21 avionics, reflecting NetJets’ centralized maintenance model implied by corporate ownership.

The Bombardier Challenger 350 (BD-100-1A10) occupies a niche between light and super-midsize business jets, offering a balance of cabin comfort for 8 passengers and transcontinental capability with a 45,000 ft ceiling. Competing models in its performance envelope typically include other light-medium business jets offering similar range and cruise speeds; demand from fractional operators and corporate fleets remains a key segment. Resale and maintenance considerations for this specific 2015 airframe include engine support for the HONEYWELL AS907-2-1A series and avionics lifecycle for the Collins Pro Line 21 Advanced, factors that influence secondhand valuation near the documented $14,844,199.
