N828SK · Bombardier Challenger 300 flight activity
137 tracked flights in the 12 months to 31 Jul 2026, on about 6 days a month and an estimated 188 hours in the air.
How N828SK has been flying
N828SK flies about one and a half times as often as the middle Challenger 300, inside the 5 to 23 flights a month flown by the middle half of the fleet.
Tracked by ADS-B, so a minimum.
From time in the air. The logbook has the exact total.
Against 5.8 d for the middle Challenger 300.
Last tracked in July 2026. Published seven days later, by month only.
Month by month
137 flights over 11 active monthsFlights per month · shaded band is the middle half of the fleet (5.0–23.1 a month)
N828SK stayed within or below the middle half of the fleet in every month. Its busiest month was May 2026, with 23 flights.
Its busiest month was May 2026, with 23 flights. It did not fly in September 2025. The record has 51 tracking gaps, so about one flight in 3 may be missing and every count is a minimum.
Utilization
How steadily it has been used: flights, flying days and estimated hours against the type.
Used about as much as most. Typical on utilization.
Used at about the rate of most of the fleet, so its maintenance intervals have been used up at a normal pace.
Against 8.4 for the middle Challenger 300 (64th). Used like a typical Bombardier Challenger 300.

The data behind it
Against all 836 tracked Challenger 300s, over its record since 1 Jan 2025.How it travels
One corridor carries a large share of its flights.
34 of 137 flights, both directions.
Spread across many destinations.
6 flights crossed a border.
One route carries a large share of N828SK’s flying: 25% of flights are on its most-flown pair of airports. Its top three pairs make up 36%, so about six flights in ten go somewhere else. Of its 137 tracked flights, 6 (4%) crossed a border.
Fatigue, corrosion, engines and brakes
01 Fatigue
Close to the typeHow short were its legs? Airframes age by landings as well as by hours. Many short legs put more pressurization cycles on the structure for the same time in the air.
N828SK is in here
Also graded: short hops. Leg length is shown as context. See this chapter in the sample report →
02 Corrosion
Outside the middle of the fleetWhere 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.

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 fleetHow 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.

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

Why don’t you show which airports N828SK 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 N828SK?
All four graded chapters (Fatigue, Corrosion, Engines and brakes, and Utilization), each against the tracked Challenger 300s, 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.
How this page is made
Everything here comes from N828SK’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 Challenger 300s against the middle aircraft, the 50th percentile. Between the 25th and 75th it is typical; outside that band it is gentler or harsher. Utilization 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.
