Its busiest month was October 2025, with 18 flights.

Its busiest month was October 2025, with 18 flights, and its quietest January 2026, with 2. The record has 64 tracking gaps, so about one flight in 1 may be missing and every count is a minimum.

Chapter 01

Fatigue

Harsher than the type

What each landing and pressurization cycle costs the structure: landings per hour and short hops.

Utilization isn’t graded for N108DB: too few of its flights were tracked to count its use fairly, in the full report too. So its free chapter here is Fatigue, which doesn’t depend on catching every flight.

More landings for its hours. Harsher on fatigue.

Short legs put more pressurization cycles on the structure for the same time in the air. Worth checking its cycle-based inspection limits before a pre-buy.

Hours per landingHarsher
1.6 : 1

Against 2.3 : 1 for the middle G600 (8th). More landings for its hours.

How it travels

One corridor carries a large share of its flights.

Most-flown pair
42%

40 of 95 flights, both directions.

Top three pairs
54%

Most of its flying on three routes.

International
10%

9 flights crossed a border.

One route carries a large share of N108DB’s flying: 42% of flights are on its most-flown pair of airports. Its top three pairs make up 54%, so about five flights in ten go somewhere else. Of its 95 tracked flights, 9 (10%) crossed a border.

Chapters 02–04

Corrosion, engines and brakes, and utilization

02 Corrosion

Not graded: not enough data

Where does it spend its nights? Where a jet sleeps shapes how fast it corrodes. Salt and damp overnight are what an inspector looks at first.

Salt air Lead metric

Also graded: damp air, freeze–thaw, near the coast and moisture in the air. See this chapter in the sample report →

03 Engines and brakes

Outside the middle of the fleet

How hard were its airfields? Short, hot and high runways ask for more thrust on every takeoff and harder braking on every landing. That wear doesn’t show in the hours.

Short runways Lead metric
Departures where the longest runway was under 1.25× the takeoff distance

Also graded: hot, high takeoffs; density altitude; dust and dry climate. See this chapter in the sample report →

04 Utilization

Not graded: too few of its flights were tracked

How hard has it been used? Heavy use spends maintenance intervals faster; long spells parked bring their own wear. Both are worth knowing before a pre-buy.

About N108DB

How many hours does N108DB fly a year?

About 129 estimated hours in the 12 months to 31 Jul 2026, across 95 tracked flights. Hours are estimated from time in the air, so the logbook has the exact figure.

How often is N108DB flown?

N108DB made 95 tracked flights in the 12 months to 31 Jul 2026, about 8 a month, and flew on about 6 days in each month it flew.

Does N108DB fly internationally?

9 of its 95 tracked flights in the 12 months to 31 Jul 2026, 10%, crossed a border.

When did N108DB last fly?

It was last tracked in July 2026. We publish an aircraft’s flights seven days after they happen, and show them by month only.

Why don’t you show which airports N108DB uses?

We leave out airports, bases and exact dates on purpose. We show how an aircraft has been used, not where it goes.

What’s in the full TailCheck report for N108DB?

All four graded chapters (Fatigue, Corrosion, Engines and brakes, and Utilization), each against the tracked G600s, plus the operational summary and operating rhythm, as a PDF, CSV and share link. It costs $395, or $995 a month for unlimited reports and Spotlight.

Method

How this page is made

Everything here comes from N108DB’s ADS-B track, the position signal aircraft broadcast, over the 12 months to 31 Jul 2026. ADS-B misses some flights, so every count is a minimum. Flights appear seven days after they happen, by month only, and hours are estimated from time in the air; the logbook has the real totals. Airports, bases and exact dates are left out on purpose. How grades work: each graded measure is placed among the tracked G600s against the middle aircraft, the 50th percentile. Between the 25th and 75th it is typical; outside that band it is gentler or harsher. Fatigue is graded here for free; for the other chapters this page shows the middle value of the fleet and whether this aircraft sits inside the middle half or outside it. Their grades and values are in the report, not on this page. Owners and operators can ask us not to publish an aircraft’s activity.
