Bombardier Challenger 605

Superior Long Range Midsize Cabin Cruiser

The Challenger 605 business jet – the agile partner and intelligent asset to your business on the rise. An aircraft with outstanding mission capabilities, offering a truly exceptional in-flight experience with more business, relaxation, and entertainment aptitude than any other large business jet. A very versatile aircraft, it is equally suitable for short to medium-haul flights or also for trans-Atlantic flights.

The efficient and reliable Challenger aircraft fleet has over 4.5 million flight hours, making this tried and true aircraft a highly respected, all-around performer and an easy choice for business leaders who recognize great value. The aircraft’s cost efficiency matches that of an appreciably smaller jet while offering the widest cabin space in all of business aviation.

This aircraft stays ahead of the competition, allowing corporate and government leaders to swiftly and effectively respond to time-sensitive demands the world over.

Cabin offers:

For good reason, Bombardier chose to preserve the spacious “Challenger” cabin that has accommodated business travelers for years. In a combination of club, divan, and individual seating, the Challenger 605 typically carries 10-12 passengers. Cabin measurements are sufficient for long-duration flights. However, it has been completely restyled to reflect customers’ every desire. Larger and higher-positioned windows make for ideal viewing pleasure. It has an improved Ethernet-based management system, larger video monitors, an upgraded galley area, sturdier worktables, and more LED lighting.

Challenger 605’s avionics and Key features:

To enhance performance and efficiency, Bombardier chose to do away with the 604’s Pro Line 4 system, and instead equip the aircraft with the more advanced Rockwell Collins Pro Line 21 suite.

Other noticeable changes are:

• the four-screen display system, offering 55 percent more area;
• improved pilot interface;
• new avionics system (features CNS radios, Honeywell Laseref V IRSes, better DADCs, fewer control panels, and less weight overall).

Also, the Challenger 605 boasts better numbers in a few key areas. Its payload of 5,015 lbs increased by 200 lbs from its predecessor. Thanks to design modifications, newly located fuel tanks, one aft bladder tank, and an enlarged tail cone tank, provide better weight distribution and fuel economy. Bombardier designed the aircraft for fast in-and-out removal for maintenance.
