N796QS

This entry covers the specific Bombardier Challenger 350 airframe bearing tail number N796QS, a 2016 build with serial number 20646 manufactured by Bombardier Inc. The aircraft is owned by NetJets Sales Inc (corporation) of Oklahoma City, OK, US, a fractional-ownership entity; this ownership is notable as it places the airframe in a fleet-management and fractional-operator environment rather than single private ownership. Registered in the US, the airframe’s documented configuration and registry reflect its role within a corporate/fractional program and typical centralized maintenance and scheduling practices for such operators.

This airframe is outfitted in an 8-place executive club layout (fractional operator configuration typical), a cabin plan optimized for small-group executive transport and short‑to‑mid‑range missions. Avionics are installed as Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 (Pro Line 21 Advanced), supporting modern flight-deck capabilities commonly used in fractional and charter operations. Typical missions for this Challenger 350 include transcontinental and regional hops consistent with its 3,200 nm range and high cruise speed; operations under NetJets Sales Inc imply dispatch from centralized operator bases and utilization on varied point-to-point business schedules. Maintenance considerations for this specific airframe align with fleet-standardized programs and component tracking expected of a corporate fractional operator.

The Bombardier Challenger 350 (BD-100-1A10) occupies a well-established light/near-medium business jet niche characterized by transcontinental capability, executive cabin comfort for small parties, and high single-leg cruise speeds. With twin Honeywell HTF7350 engines delivering 7,323 lbf each and a 45,000 ft ceiling, the type is positioned for flexibility between short city pairs and longer regional sectors. Demand in fractional and charter markets favors airframes like N796QS for predictable operating economics and resale value supported by manufacturer lineage; resale and maintenance considerations are typically managed through fleet-centric programs when the operator is a large corporate owner such as NetJets Sales Inc.
