N782QS

This article describes airframe N782QS, a 2015-built Bombardier BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350 with serial number 20561. The aircraft is manufactured by Bombardier Inc. and is owned by NETJETS SALES INC, a corporation based in Oklahoma City, OK, US. Registered in the US, the airframe carries a marketed value of $16,150,000 and is configured and maintained for fractional ownership/operator use. Ownership by NETJETS SALES INC reflects transfer into a large fractional/charter fleet, rather than private single-owner registry, and its fleet status influences typical utilization and upkeep cycles noted for similar Challenger 350 examples.

The aircraft is fitted with an executive eight-place interior arranged in a double-club layout, providing a typical cabin suited to business and fractional charter missions. Avionics are specified as Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 (Pro Line 21 Advanced), a system that supports regional jet‑class navigation and situational awareness for medium‑range corporate operations. Typical mission profiles for this airframe include transcontinental and international hops within its 3,247 nm range at cruise speeds near 459 kts, operating from NETJETS’ base of operations and managed under fleet maintenance programs. Cabin configuration and fleet ownership suggest standardized upkeep and interior refurbishment cycles consistent with fractional operator practices, with maintenance attention focused on engine trend monitoring for the Honeywell HTF7350 powerplants and avionics lifecycle management.

The BD-100-1A10 Challenger 350 occupies the light-medium business jet niche, offering a balance of range, cabin comfort, and runway performance. Competing models in the segment include similarly sized super‑midsize and large light jets; demand is driven by corporate and fractional buyers seeking eight‑seat executive layouts and transcontinental capability. Resale and maintenance considerations for this airframe center on engine hours, Pro Line 21 avionics serviceability, and the fleet provenance of ownership by NETJETS SALES INC, which can both support higher utilization and provide structured maintenance records attractive to secondary-market purchasers.
