The free chapter.

Each measure against all 763 tracked Challenger 600s. Every dot is one aircraft; the gold one is N29CU.

Chapter 1

Fatigue

Typical for its type

How short were its legs?

Utilization isn’t graded for N29CU: 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.

It lands about as often for its hours as most of the fleet, so cycles have built up at a normal pace.

Harsher means harder on the aircraft than three quarters of Challenger 600s; typical is the middle half. Percentiles compare this aircraft with every tracked Challenger 600, over its record since 1 Jan 2025.
