N244QS

Bombardier Inc CL-600-2B16

ValidFAA registration status code V: Valid registration. All codes

N244QS is a Bombardier Inc CL-600-2B16, a fixed-wing airplane with more than one motor with turbofan engines. It has 22 seats. It is registered to an owner whose details are withheld at their request. The registration is valid: it was issued on September 29, 2026 and expires on September 30, 2033. No airworthiness certificate is on file, which is normal for drones and for aircraft still being built or tested. 2 documents are on file: loan release, loan or lien (security agreement).

Listed on the FAA charter and air-taxi certificate of NetJets Aviation, Inc., so it can be flown for hire; the registered owner is someone else, which is usual for a managed aircraft.

The airframe is aluminium: sheet metal over a riveted frame, the way most aircraft have been built since the 1940s. This is how the Bombardier CL-600 Challenger and CRJ family is built; the FAA does not record construction for each aircraft, and the type certificate data sheet is the authority for this one.

The public federal record on N244QS, read the way a buyer, lender or insurer reads it: FAA registration, prior tail numbers keyed on the serial number, reuse of the tail number, recent registry filings, and the NTSB accident record under this and every earlier registration.

CLEARRegistration and identity

Valid registration to an owner whose details are withheld, a co-owned, certificate issued September 29, 2026, expires September 30, 2033. Fractional ownership is recorded. [1]

ATTENTIONAirworthiness certificate

No airworthiness certificate is on file. Usual for a newly registered aircraft, a project, or an aircraft that has not flown since a change of registration; ask for the certificate. [1]

CLEARPrior registrations of this airframe

No earlier tail number is recorded against serial 6167 for this model in the deregistered file. [2]

CLEARTail number reuse

No other airframe has carried N244QS according to the deregistered file. [2]

ATTENTIONRecent registry documents

1 loan or lien document received by the registry recently (October 26, 2026), and 1 release. The full title and lien picture is in the FAA aircraft records file. [3]

CLEARAccident and incident record

No NTSB investigation records located under N244QS. CLEAR means the query ran and returned nothing, not that nothing ever happened. [4]

PENDINGTitle chain, liens and 337 forms

These live in the FAA aircraft records file (every document ever filed against the aircraft) and, for larger aircraft, the International Registry. Part of the full report.

PENDINGAirworthiness directives and utilization
