How N833QS has been flying
N833QS flies about as often as the middle Citation Longitude, inside the 8 to 37 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 15.5 d for the middle Citation Longitude.
Last tracked in July 2026. Published seven days later, by month only.
Month by month
436 flights over 12 active monthsFlights per month · shaded band is the middle half of the fleet (7.6–36.8 a month)
N833QS flew more than the middle half of the fleet in 4 of 12 months. Its busiest month was June 2026, with 73 flights.
Its busiest month was June 2026, with 73 flights, and its quietest April 2026, with 17. The record has 174 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 32.2 for the middle Citation Longitude (59th). Used like a typical Cessna Citation Longitude.

The data behind it
Against all 148 tracked Citation Longitudes, over its record since 1 Jan 2025.How it travels
Its flying is spread across many routes.
4 of 436 flights, both directions.
Spread across many destinations.
16 flights crossed a border.
N833QS’s flying is spread across many routes. Its most-flown pair of airports carries 1% of flights, 4 of 436, counting both directions. Its top three pairs make up 3%, so about ten flights in ten go somewhere else. Of its 436 tracked flights, 16 (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.

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.
N833QS is out here, on one side or the other
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
Close to the typeHow 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 →

How this page is made
Everything here comes from N833QS’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 Citation Longitudes 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.
