Bombardier Inc CL-600-2B16

ValidFAA registration status code V: Valid registration. All codes

N247QS 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 October 28, 2026 and expires on October 31, 2033. No airworthiness certificate is on file, which is normal for drones and for aircraft still being built or tested.

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.
